VANLOVE meets CAMC's big boss NICK LOMAS...from electricity bills to Crocs!!

Welcome back! Guy has a great chat with the Director General of the Caravan & Motorhome Club, Nick Lomas, and they talk all things vanlife, from what a caravan looked like in 1907 through to Crocs! We met up with Nick at CAMC's Clubfest at Weston Park in Shropshire, their very own festival attracting over 3000 'vans and 10,000 people. Thanks to Nick and Nikki for sorting the interview.
Vanlove Fest returns to Elvington Airfield in York on July 19th-21st, book your tickets now at www.vanlove.com, and give us a follow on Instagram at / vanlovefest

Hi Guy, thats a good chat with the CAMC boss. Its interesting to see the corporate view and I noted he has an Adria Camper so I assume a Twin of some sort? We have an SGX so can appreciate your own van which was easily recognisable in the video! All the best Andy & Lyn.

Adria Twin 640 SLB, and so clean it could have just come out the factory 😄 My OCD loved that!! Thanks for the positive comments 🚐❤️

Most people with disagree with your opinion that the club is great value.

[@vanlovefest]

That’s not the feedback we get from many guests staying at our CL, but I guess it depends on how much you use all of the services.

[@advantures_n_endeavours]

A very interesting and informative interview Guy 👍🏻

[@vanlovefest]

Thank you ❤️

Hardly a mention of local centres and rallies but then they don't make money from that! Van lifers don't generally frequent their campsites due to cost, in my opinion the club is a shadow of its former self under his stewardship despite all the hot air he expels.

[@stewartrobertson1215]

The club have been the biggest obstacle to van life in the last 50 years. They are seen as the subject matter experts in everything camping and have on record, numerous times blocked setting up of stopping places and wild camping spots prompting their belief that U.K. “Campers” should only use approved site. The majority of which they own, very convenient. Any club which has a titled aristocrat as President is not in touch with modern day camping and especially vanlifers.

This punk is talking about demographics and capitalisation... so paying more for less!! they have gone to dynamic pricing and centralised the waste bins to one location!! How on earth do the 70 / 80 and indeed 90 year old members fair???
