Erwin Hymer Group UK Ltd is part of the larger, European-wide Erwin Hymer Group, which in turn is owned by the American RV giant, Thor Industries.
Our UK manufacturing plant – home of the brands Elddis, Xplore and Buccaneer - is one of the largest caravan, motorhome and campervan manufacturers in the UK. Based in Consett, County Durham, we have a rich heritage of leisure vehicle design and manufacture, spanning nearly six decades and we are the largest employer in the area.
Our multi-award-winning, UK-built caravans, motorhomes and campervans are sold exclusively via our network of retailers. With 85 retailers in the UK alone and a vast variety of over 300 class-leading, innovative models to choose from, we pride ourselves as being leaders in the leisure industry.
Founded in 1948, Bailey of Bristol is the longest established UK independent caravan manufacturer with over 75 years’ experience in leisure vehicle production and design. During this period, our family-owned business has grown to become not only the Nation’s Favourite brand accounting for approximately one-in-three new caravan sales, but also now one of the largest in Europe. In 2011 the company successfully introduced this same level of expertise to the UK motorhome market, as well as expanding its operations by exporting to countries as far afield as South Korea and New Zealand. Then most recently, in 2023, as part of its 75th anniversary celebrations Bailey began production of the Endeavour, its first ever campervan range.
