Lincoln Motorhome Show September 2024

Lincoln Show September 2024

Looking for a day out, a weekend away, your first motorhome or upgrading your existing motorhome?

Why not visit the Lincoln motorhome show taking place over three days in September; Derby Motorhomes will be amongst the exhibitors at this year’s event with a fine selection of motorhomes on display for sale and we’ll be delighted to see you there.

Outdoors events such as these are a great way to see different dealers, different brands and different layouts, so why not pop over to the showground and catch up with Tim, Brian and Paul, share a coffee and pick up a great deal too?

Motorhome shows though, aren’t simply all about dealers selling motorhomes, you will also find stalls selling everything a person could possibly imagine, from pots and pans to towbars and tow-cars, and everything in-between too!

There’s great evening entertainment shows each night, lots of good food outlets and very reasonably priced pitches for those staying for the weekend.

NEC Show 17th – 22nd October, Hall 8 Stand 8.25

Well, what a year! It’s incredible how fast this year seems to be moving along; it feels as though it was only a few weeks ago that we were all preparing for the NEC show back in February, and here we are yet again, October and ready for the next one!

 Derby Motorhomes, The Auto Sleeper Exhibition Centre are very pleased to announce, yet again, that Tim Lemon and Mike Smith will be available to meet and talk to on Auto-Sleeper’s stand all week.

However, as an indication of just how well anticipated this event has been, the organisers have advised that tickets for this show are selling well and in demand, so please make sure that you’ve booked your tickets in advance.

Tim and Mike are again very much looking forward to meeting customers old and new during the event next week and if you haven’t bought your tickets yet, but intended to come along to buy an Auto-Sleeper, please give Tim or Mike a call, we have a great selection of new 2024 model Auto-Sleepers on order with the factory and if you prefer, you’ll be able to reserve one over the telephone too.

Why not give Tim or Mike a call now? – (01332) 360222

NEC Motorhome and Caravan Show, October 2022

NEC Motorhome and Caravan Show, October 2022

Hi everybody,

This week sees the opening of the Motorhome and Caravan show at the NEC in Birmingham, from Tuesday 18th October to Sunday 23rd October and once again our very own Managing Director Tim Lemon and expert sales executive Mike Smith will be assisting Auto-Sleepers on the Auto-Sleepers stand in Hall 8.

So, if you’re planning a visit to the show this week, why don’t you pay Tim and Mike visit and have a good look around the fabulous 2023 Auto-Sleepers range? You can’t fail to be impressed and if you already have an Auto-Sleeper and are thinking about a part-exchange, Tim and Mike are the very best people to talk to and will certainly give you a great part exchange deal.

Not got a motorhome. Not a problem, come and see Tim or Mike anyway, no pressure but fantastic knowledge and really good help and advice; you never know though, you might walk away with an order for a new Auto-Sleeper!

You may be thinking of giving up your motor home, if so, again, talk to Tim and Mike, we’re always looking for good quality, late, low mileage Auto-Sleepers and we buy for cash.

Please remember however, that as was also the case for February’s Camping Caravan and Motorhome show at the same venue, visitors can only buy tickets in advance, online – there is no entry by payment at the door on the day so, buy your ticket while they’re still available!

Finally, one disappointing piece of information for this October’s show however is that Auto-Sleepers won’t have the popular McLouis Fusion range on display on their stand; supply and demand issues are weighing very heavily this year and unfortunately there are no models available to display.

Tim and Mike look forward to meeting you next week, enjoy the event.

The Glorious 12th !!

The Glorious 12th !

Well, it’s finally here, the glorious 12th !

Don’t worry though, you haven’t been caught up in a lockdown time-warp and the poor Grouse are safe for a good few months yet; I’m talking about today, the 12th April 2021.

Reopening to the public

Today Boris is allowing motorhome dealers, caravan dealers, non-essential retailers everywhere, caravan sites (with a few restrictions) and pubs outdoors, to finally reopen to the public.

We are all still going to have to be a little careful for a while yet though, but for a moment, let’s just savour the freedom that today, the 12th April is going to bring us all…………………

The team at Derby couldn’t wait to get going again, we haven’t been able to invite our customers into our dealership for such a long time, it almost feels like forever!

That said, we’ve been working very hard on-line helping our service customers remotely where we can and also completing motorhome sales and customer outright purchase orders too; we’ve even had the time to revamp and update our customer waiting area inside the showroom too.

Appointments

Whilst we would appreciate our visitors making an appointment to visit, we aren’t going to insist on this but please rest assured, we are each still taking every reasonable precaution possible to ensure the safety of our staff and customers.

 

Not quite normal – yet…..

Things in the showroom aren’t quite back to normal yet and visitors aren’t going to be able wander in and out of every motorhome on site – this simply isn’t safe enough just yet or practical because to keep us all safe, we will still have to sanitise each vehicle once a visitor exits it so, please, if you are visiting, respect our efforts to keep everyone as safe as possible whilst here.

We look forward to welcoming you to our dealership, soon.
