Data is sourced from the registrations of new motorhomes recorded by the DVLA from V55/1 first registration forms, automatic first registration and Licensing (AFRL) and V55/2 and V55/4 forms.
Prior to 2004, it is believed that there may have been some mis-classification of imports by the authorities. This could have resulted in an understatement of total registrations for the years 2000 to 2004.
The UK motorhome market experienced annual growth rates every year until 2008 after which economic difficulties in the UK have impacted upon sales of new product.
European motorhome registrations have declined from the high of 2008, in line with setbacks in economies, with the German market - the second largest in Europe after France - being the most resilient.
