Go European: motorhome and campervan sales in Cannock

Go European is a family-run motorhome dealer based at 80 Lakeside Boulevard in Cannock, Staffordshire. The business was established in 2003 in Redditch and moved to Cannock after seven years, a relocation the company presents as the basis for its subsequent growth. It describes itself as having decades of experience in the leisure vehicle industry and as one of the leading motorhome dealers in the UK.

The dealership sells both new and used motorhomes and campervans, and organises its stock by berth count, with dedicated sections for two-berth, four-berth and five-plus-berth motorhomes. It also publishes stock alerts and a regularly updated offers section.

Brands represented

Go European presents itself as the UK's Carthago specialist and states that it has received Carthago dealer of the year for five consecutive years. Alongside Carthago, the dealership stocks Malibu van conversions, Megamobil campervans, Auto-Sleepers, Coachman and Roller Team motorhomes. The site separates new and used ranges for each of these brands.

Within the Carthago range, the company highlights its experience with A-Class motorhomes, noting that Carthago offers more than six models of fully integrated motorhomes. It presents servicing and aftersales support for these vehicles as a particular point of focus.

Aftersales, servicing and accessories

The company operates a workshop with qualified technicians who carry out MOTs, repair work, habitation checks and annual services at its motorhome service centre in the West Midlands. A dedicated aftersales team handles customer calls, and the business states that it regards aftersales as being as important as sales.

Go European also supplies accessories and extras for motorhomes and caravans, including bike racks, awnings, alarms and reversing cameras. The company says it selects each product in this range for quality and reputation.

Buying, selling and finance

For customers selling a motorhome, Go European offers a cash purchase service described as a three-step process, with the option to collect the vehicle. The site invites owners to enter a registration number and mileage to obtain a valuation.

Finance plans are available to spread the cost of a motorhome purchase into monthly payments, and the team discusses the available options with customers. Insurance plans are also listed among the dealership's services.

Sales and service arrangements

Sales and service operate on separate schedules. The service line is reached through the main number, using option 2.
