The boys from Britain's Top Gear--Jeremy, May and Hammond--are at it again. Season 15 of the show debuted on June 27th and it looks to be a real treat. Top Gear has often featured motorhome stunts and races in the past, but it seems like they're determined to top themselves this time. And from the photos and videos we've seen of what's coming up we'd say they succeeded.
The new season features the three hosts participating in their "Build a Motorhome Challenge." The result? Well, let's just say that while the "motorhomes" are imaginative they're not exactly pretty. Jeremy has placed a towering bachelor pad atop a Citroen CX, while May has propped a tent on a Lotus. As for Hamster, he's fashioned himself a country cottage complete with (faux?) brick on the back of a Range Rover.
So now we wait to see how this all pans out on screen and who will take home the best motorhome prize. In the meantime check out this viral video that swept the internet before being used in an actual commercial for Top Gear. It's video of two parents and their long suffering son spotting the Top Gear caravan on the road. We think they may be fans. Check out the Guardian for more info
I have been General Manager of Motorhome Republic, the operators of this website, for 4 years and with the company for 6 years starting as a Sales / Account Manager. Previous roles have included account manager and software architect for a web design firm, advertising sales across multiple media and television production. I’ve been lucky enough to go Motorhoming several times in Canada, USA and New Zealand so far and grew up going on caravanning holidays with Mum and Dad. The value and freedom Motorhoming offers are its two main drawcards for me. That and the envy on the other campers’ faces when you pull into a State Park campground with no hook ups in a 31’ Class C with double slide outs, on board generator, side awning, exterior entertainment unit and smoker unit for a 10kg salmon caught earlier that day.
Doug Brown, Motorhome Rentals Sales Manager
I have been in the Motorhome industry for the best part of 6 years and with Motorhomes Republic for the last 18 months. I previously worked for the largest Motorhome rental company in the world as the New Zealand Sales Account Manager. I’ve traveled the length and width of New Zealand in many different categories of Motorhomes, in fact I don’t think there is a main state highway I haven’t driven. The love I have for Motorhomes is one of freedom and flexibility, doing what I want when I want. If I have a hankering for a cup of coffee in a beautiful scenic spot simply stop boil and enjoy….
