Chelston pick up yet another dealer award at the 2009 Adria Trade Preview!
Chelstons recently sent a delegation to Adria's 2009 trade launch at Hintelsham hall in Suffolk.
At the event Chelston's Martyn Leaf was presented with the 2008 award for Best Customer Service from Adria Managing Director Slavica Sterk. This award comes only a couple of months after Chelston scooped a top award for customer care from Practical Motorhome! Chelston have made significant improvements in customer care procedures over the past year and so we are delighted to see this starting to pay dividends with accolades coming from both the industry and more importantly our customers.
We can also exclusively reveal that whilst at the launch we found that Adria have a whole range of new and exciting innovations and upgrades for their range for 2009.
We have included a few photographs here to give you a sneak preview of the motorhomes that will be available this coming autumn. Exciting new products include the new 3-Way with right hand drive shown here in the "edgy" black metallic paint option.
There is also the new 647 SG with a UK orientated layout consisting of luxurious and spacious lounge and living area. Also shown here is the New Compact SL with a sleek new 7ft wide body and extra large garage!
More details coming soon so watch this space!

Johnnie gets the Red Carpet Treatment before driving off to the South of France!
Radio 2 DJ Johnnie Walker collected his Autotrail Cheyenne 630 from Chelston Motorhomes at Wellington today and was delighted with his new vehicle.
The Radio legend who made his name in the 60s with the pirate ship Radio Caroline and has been a top disc jockey for over 40 years was hooked on the idea of owning a motorhome after visiting Chelston at the NEC Motorhome show in February. Johnnie spent the morning getting acquainted with his new Motorhome with the help of the Chelston handover team before meeting the technicians who checked and customised his vehicle.
Johnnie then wasted no time in getting to grips with driving the Autotrail by taking it for a “spin” in the afternoon, before heading off to the South of France for a more intensive road test and an extensive relaxing holiday “away from it all”!

15th March saw the Grand Opening of the New Chelston outdoor leisure store based on the site of Chelston Motorhomes just outside Wellington in Somerset. The store was officially opened by Jeremy Browne MP and Taunton Mayor Ken Hayward to a champagne reception.
The outdoor leisure store perfectly compliments our motorhome and caravan operations providing a huge increase in choice for our customers and the massive advantage of having Sales, Service and Accessories in one convenient location! The stores location along the M5 corridor to the holiday destinations of Devon and Cornwall mean that tens of thousands of holidaymakers will now have a convenient location in which to stop and buy their essential camping supplies, fun stuff and some exciting luxuries.
With over 5000 sq ft of retail space, Chelston Outdoor Leisure Store is BIG! The store provides hundreds of new product lines in a modern, bright, state of the art shopping environment with wide aisles and intelligent product placement. The new store also features a large outdoor clothing section and coffee shop!
This new superstore is not just for the motorhomer or caravanner, it’s also for anyone who enjoys the fun and adventure of the great outdoors!
Product lines include outdoor clothing and footwear ranges, camping, hiking outdoor sports and a multitude of new and exciting outdoor leisure pursuit accessories.
Chelston Directors Tom Lower and Tony Eyles were delighted to welcome so many people to the new store at the recent open weekend and would like to thank all of those who expressed their views on the store – the response so far has been extremely positive. Tom and Tony would also like to extend an invitation to you all to visit the store in the near future to see for yourself why they are so excited with this new venture for Chelston.

It doesn't seem that long since the last show at the NEC but that didn't seem to deter visitors to this the biggest show of them all with attendances up on last year.
Chelston Motorhomes sales staff were based on the Autotrail, Adria, Burstner, and Bessacarr stands and recorded above target sales figures. The new models having already been showcased at last years NEC show were still proving to be a hit with the customers including the stunning new Delaware from Autotrail. Also causing a bit of a stir was the New Burstner Quattro ...the low profile van with the A-class style drop-down bed.... what a stunner!!
We saw a lot of familiar faces at this motorhome/camper van show as well as quite a few new ones, and we would like to thank all those customers that chose Chelston Motorhomes at the NEC. We look forward to welcoming you all on your collection day and subsequently for your vehicle's services and long into the future!

THOUSANDS of families flocked to the UK’s biggest caravan and motorhome show this weekend. Filling five halls at the NEC in Birmingham, organisers say the show is 20 per cent bigger than any other caravan show in the UK.
The International Caravan & Motorhome 2007 show opened on Tuesday 16th October and attracted thousands of people throughout the week with customers eager to get a good look at the New 2008 Models.
Chelston sales staff were based on the Autotrail, Adria, Burstner, and Bessacarr stands and were recording sales above expectations from day one of the show. Despite trading in a very competitive arena, Chelston were able to offer very attractive deals which, backed up by the fantastic aftersales package of service and support from our Service Centre were critical factors in securing many deals from old and new customers alike. All in all a great result for Chelston and it's customers!
We would like to thank those customers that chose Chelston Motorhomes at this show and we look forward to seeing you all on your collection day and subsequently for your vehicle's services.

9th September 2007
A Sun Soaked Shepton Mallet was the venue for a very successful outing for Chelston Motorhomes. With the Chelston "Blimp" in place to identify our new location at the Bath and West Showground we were off to a sweltering start as the temperatures soared and stayed high throughout the first day. We were represented for the first time by members from the "Fiat approved" Chelston Service Centre who were on hand to advise customers and promote the services we are able to offer including, MOT's, Warranty Works, Repairs and Servicing. We also had a number of offers on many products from our Motorhome accessory range. Service Centre Manager Martyn Leaf reported that it had been a very successful show with service bookings and uptake of show offers being way beyond expectation. Saturday saw cooler weather arrive and the crowds flocked in and Chelstons decision to move to a larger show area proved to be the right one as we were able to display over 80 pre-owned and new motorhomes including some interesting new models for 2008. The Autotrail Cheyenne 740S, Burtsner A747 and the Adria Compact proved very popular new models with the Cheyenne often drawing queues to view inside. |

"We have a fantastic understanding with Adria, and that is evident throughout the whole sales process from pre-ordering to delivery and beyond this with the superb after-sales care that we can offer from our modern Service Centre facility".
So what of next year? Can Chelston Make it four in a row? Chelston's Sales and Service teams have such a depth of knowledge and experience with the Adria product that you really wouldn't bet against it.

Despite the appearance of predictably bad Bank Holiday Weather, sales for the Spring Sale this Bank Holiday weekend exceeded all expectations, bringing a decidedly Sunny feel to the whole event!
By the Saturday evening a party atmosphere had descended on Chelston with the arrival of a 5-piece band from Exeter called Cadence who rocked the Chelston Motorhome centre with old favourites like Brown Eyed Girl, Bad moon rising, Midnight hour and many more of the greatest and best loved classic hits from the 50's onwards.
Chelston's Customers and Staff danced long into the night before the tempo slowed with songs such as Long & Winding Road. It was a shame the night had to end but the last stragglers grudgingly made there way back to their Motorhomes and Caravans just before midnight! We would like to thank all of you that attended the event... I think you would have to agree that it was a very memorable night!
Sunday broke with rain, rain and more rain but it did not put off the die-hard customers who battled through the elements to secure good deals for their new Motorhomes and Caravans from us.
When the the sun finally made an appearance on Monday the showgrounds filled with more customers eager to bag themselves a fantastic Bank Holiday deal, and as usual we did not disappoint them!

Chelston Motorhomes were these week celebrating outstanding sales results after this weekend’s show at the Outdoor Leisure Show at Shepton Mallet . With sales of almost £2m for the weekend Chelston have succeeded where others have reported slow trading conditions this year.
Chelston’s strong partnership with Bessacarr reached a new milestone at the show with the sale of the 100th 2007 model.
Chelston Sales Director Tom Lower described the new 2007 Bessacarr 5 series as “the complete package” and explained his reasons for this view. “This new product from Bessacarr has taken the market by storm! This new Motorhome not only looks good but has a sleek low profile, is economic on fuel, has a well designed compact layout and retails at a reasonably low price which all adds up to a winning formula”.
Other major contributions responsible for the success of Chelston at Shepton were made by the popularity of the new Motorhomes based on the Fiat Ducatto X250 base which is a huge leap forward in terms of standards in comfort, style, economy and power. The improvements to the Renault base for 2007 were also proving popular amongst Chelston customers with a surge in sales for these vehicles. But it is not just the new models that have produced such outstanding results, it’s also the fabulous selection of quality previously owned vehicles coupled with the professional approach and aftersales care of the whole Chelston team that makes them….Simply the Best!
