Great products, good knowledge and friendly service. But … confusion over delivery of vehicle accessories, slow delivery, and rear number plate nearly fell off.

Rich in quality, quantity and variety, we boast the largest collection of premium German brand motorhomes anywhere in the UK for customers to view at first hand.

We are a family owned and run business, with more than four decades of experience and knowledge, headed up by Ross Edwards as Managing Director.

Over the last 10 years, Erwin Hymer Centre Travelworld has established itself as the No 1 UK home for a quartet of brands which typify outstanding German excellence in engineering and design Carado, Dethleffs, Laika, HYMER and Niesmann + Bischoff. Some of the very best motorhomes in the world are available from us in Stafford and our dedicated team is on hand to meet in person, over the phone or virtually, to answer all your questions.

Once you have purchased your motorhome, it’s important to maintain it to a high level and the outstanding Erwin Hymer Centre Travelworld service offering guarantees exactly that.

Hi Bridget,

Thank you for your 5* review and your kind words about Steve! :)

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Great place to visit

The centre is excellent and the staff are helpful, easy access from the motorway and lots of space in the grounds.
Have not had any experience of the service side so I couldn’t comment on them but up to now its been total satisfaction.
Not satisfied with the vehicle I purchased and would gladly except my cash back but the centre and Frank are outstanding.
With regards to the Carado totally disappointed firstly the quality not good at all who else but incompetents would release a new vehicle without fitting a smoke and carbon monoxide gas alarms. Who on earth would design a waste tap that one has to get under the vehicle to release the waste water, the light switches are placed in awkward places, toilet far too small a vehile of this price with no radio fitted the televisio is of low quality bad sound and the pull out bracket I feel sure is out of an old military truck, the design and quality are of a low standard and the promise to ring you back is a laugh, think hard before buying a Carado,

Service Advisor

I have been a Travelworld customer for a number of years. Their front-desk has been something of a revolving door, with service advisors of variable quality joining and leaving within a matter of weeks or months.

For my last visit, I was looked after by new Senior Service Advisor, Steve Hodgkins. Steve is like a breath of fresh air, bringing to Travelworld the benefit of many years experience in the automotive industry. He is friendly, efficient and obviously concerned about the customer experience - something that has not always been the case. Steve also answers emails within a reasonable period - again, a first for me in dealing with the after-sales team at Travelworld.

My concerns about the quality of the work carried out in the workshop are unchanged but, as long as Steve is there, I at least feel as though I have someone that will work on my behalf to have them resolved to my satisfaction.

The service and MOT were done

The service and MOT were done. The service team said they would call me to update progress and when to pick up the vehicle but they didn’t. I phoned to ask when it would be ready! Also the service was very expensive with the biggest part of the bill being labour!

Disgusting

Still having to check it back in with your service team you have had the vehicle in your work shop for over eight months now and still have the same issues with it from day one it’s the worst thing I’ve ever experienced in spending 200.000 pounds of my money

Thanks to ROB, things are getting much better

Things were going really quite bad in my dealings with this company and I would normally be giving 1 star BUT, Rob stepped in and turn it around and sorted ALL my problems out. Rob made sure everything got sorted and ended up with a successful outcome. I will say I was put to significant inconvenience and experienced a lot of the issues you can find posted here. However, I agree with one fellow review, that when things go wrong or aren’t as expected that is when service support and empathy are so important. Trust does take a long time to rebuild. My long term faith and relationship with Travelworld is also being rebuilt thanks to Rob who turned me from being a very unhappy customer to one who will return to Erwin Hymer in future. I hope to be in a position to increase my star rating to 4 or 5 starts moving forward if things continue to improve.

Good. Could do better.

I think the sale process was quite slick, little disappointed with some of the paperwork issues and the handover was not at all anywhere the level it should have been- problem is you don’t know what you don’t know until you need to know, and a week later driving in 32 degree heat in southern Europe and ur not sure how heating / ac works, or why heat is sifting from rads so hab area actually warming rather than cooling is frustrating

Hi Ian,

After investigating this review and also reading the survey you have filled in, I do not think this review truly reflects your experience.

Your vehicle was booked in for a full day, not 1/2 day. Your vehicle went into the workshop in the morning and your habitation check was carried out, your MOT was carried out in the afternoon. Your vehicle may have come out the workshop between the two jobs were carried out.

Thank you

Hi Paul,

After speaking with our service department, I understand that your vehicle was worked on during the weekend, when we do not have any valetors on site. I'm sorry that this was not discussed with you upon collection of your vehicle but if you would like to discuss this further with our Customer Care Manager then please send him an email service@motorhomes.co.uk.

Thank you
