Erwin Hymer UK has redesigned its website (www.elddis.co.uk), including some features designed to reassure customers who may not be able to inspect their motorhomes and caravans in the flesh.

The new-look site for the company, whose brands include Elddis, Compass, Xplore and Buccaneer, includes a facility called Get the Best Deal.

Through this you just have to put your location in, and decide which model you want, and the website should put you in touch with a range of nearby approved dealers.

You can even state whether you can offer part exchange and whether you are looking for finance options.

The launch of the website comes during increased media concerns about scam emails offering fake “camper van for sale” ads during lockdown.

The company adds that many approved dealers can still offer to secure a chosen motorhome or caravan for a modest deposit, sometimes as little as £99.
