Itchy Feet Open Week

Firstly, we hope you have all had a fantastic Christmas.

In possibly what was the busiest week running up to the Festivities, Itchy Feet hit the ground running in our Open Week, held from Friday 16th to Friday 23rd December.
This has followed six weeks of long hours moving the Itchy Feet operation from Cornwall to Northampton and travelling, all in all, some 10,000 miles; we opened our doors to our new home in Brixworth, to which for many years has been the home of Mercedes High Performance Engines.

During the course of the week refreshments were available including those every time a winner Mince Pies. Unfortunately though, the majority of our team were scattered all over the country collecting some much needed stock during the week, so we made sure we had our own Christmas celebration at the end of the week.

We were absolutely amazed that over 100 couples visited us during the pre-Christmas week and the feedback received was fantastic. In fact a few couples made our Christmas week and effort well worth it, by saying how great it was to finally see a motorhome dealer putting some positivity back into the industry; so that said we made positivity and enthusiasm our 2012 New Year's Resolution.

Vehicles on display included the world exclusive 2008 Fleetwood Revolution which by far was our most admired RV for sale, 2008 Fleetwood Discovery, the all-new 2011 Tiffin Breeze, 2010 Damon Daybreak and the 2010 Lehel MAN TGL.

Our two new showrooms have been designed to show our motorhomes off in a truly unique style.

Itchy Feet European and American Motorhomes will be opening the 2012 season from Tuesday 3rd January at Brixworth, Northampton. We wish you all the very best for 2012 and look forward to seeing you very soon.

For those wishing to celebrate into the New Year, Carvynick Country Club has a fantastic offer of £10 per night for all Motorhomes throughout January 2012. For more details please call 01872 510716.

Itchy Feet on the Move

Well, there we are, first week down. We have been settling into Brixworth, Northampton well and a lot has changed to our new home since moving in on Friday 11th November 2011.

The Itchy Feet Team have not stopped, polishing coaches, flooring, building mezzanines for the workshops and chairs for the offices! There is still a lot of work to be done. Our second artic lorry arrived today to be unloaded, and we all have a busy weekend planned unpacking and organising.

We would like to Thank Westfield Transport of Cornwall for all their help

The Motorhome Show Rooms are coming together, the feedback from some of our local customers, (who just couldn't wait) :) has been fantastic so far.

Our new home will bring the opportunities to expand our parts department, servicing workshops, as well as reducing travelling times of most of our customers.

One of the main reasons for our move is to vastly increase our position as the UK number one in American RV rental. Over the past two years Winnebago Direct has gone from strength to strength and we were finding it difficult to commit to the demand we have. We hope now to be able to offer a truly unbeatable service in this sector. We will have a further update on this in the coming weeks.

Carvynick Country Club is still offering pitches up to 45ft in length, and is without doubt the UK's premier motorhome holiday location, please visit www.carvynick.co.uk for more details.


Our Passion for delivering the best service of the Motorhome market remains and we hope to see you all very soon at our Motorhome Superstore in Brixworth, Northampton.

2011 Tiffin Breeze 28 BR

We have all heard the famous maxim: Less is more. Downsizing is not something many of us ever want to do. Sacrificing our 40ft RVs, built of great craftsmanship and intuitive design to end up with a motorhome that is no more than a box on wheels is simply not good enough, and that's exactly what Bob Tiffin and his research team found out when listening to customer's demands for quality and design without paying the ultimate price.


It gives me the greatest pleasure to introduce to you, Tiffin Motorhomes latest model, The Breeze 28BR.

This is quite simply the most unique and customer demanded American RV in a decade. It not only gives us outstanding quality and value for money but is fantastically usable in Europe. At just over 29ft it is no longer the the average B class and yet has the design and floor plan that wouldn't make it too difficult to make that step down when the time comes.

The breeze is built on Tiffin's own Powerglide chassis, another first for the industry, having a diesel pusher less than 30ft. Unlike some of the smaller Roadmaster chassis, Tiffin have ensured they equipped the Breeze with the independent air suspension, not so much to increase carrying capacity, merely to ensure to ride is as pleasant as can be. The heart of the coach is powered by a V8 Maxxforce International built by Navistar. This is one feature I'm very excited about. Early estimations and testing show the breeze will be capable of around 16MPG, not bad for a quality pusher.

Stepping inside the Breeze is where you can really see where the compromises will be low; the lounge is open and airy. A large leather 68" sofa bed and opposing leather horse shoe sofa/dinette make up the seating which again unlike its competition means you can relax without being on top of each other. The kitchen is made up of a large Corian worktop with integrated stainless steel appliances and a great amount of storage.

There are also some really great options for this coach including full ivory cream cabinets and in built vacuum cleaner, however most features are standard including full body paint and alloy wheels.

Tiffin certainly put a lot of thought into this coach and I can 100% vouch for them when I say they have done an outstanding, customer caring, intuitive and stunning job. I simply have not been this excited about a product in almost 3 years. I think it will quickly become a market leader and a great success to Tiffin, who without doubt, deserve every award they receive.

Brochures and prices are now available upon request, so any further information please do not hesitate to contact us or visit our website: www.itchyfeet.biz.

Itchy Feet at Race Retro

It was the first time the Itchy Feet team had attended the historic motorsport show at Race Retro in the heart of Warwickshire.

Itchy Feet decided to choose this show to debut their 1989 Lotus racing car which was driven by Japanese racing driver Satoru Nakajima. The car proved to be a huge success and along with coverage of the Bhrain grand prix playing on a television screen big crowds were drawn to the to the Itchy Feet stand.

The car which is a joint operation between Itchy Feet and Anglo American Autocare Racing, will over the coming few months be completely stripped and rebuilt ready for racing later in the season and fingers crossed it will make it's debut at the Silverstone Classic in July 2010.

The Itchy Feet team also took the opportunity to launch Rent My Rig which helps to off set purchase costs of the large motorhomes. When you have purchased your motorhome Itchy Feet will rent your motorhome out for you during the season as we are short of vehicles for hire at venues such as Silverstone, Goodwood and Gastonbury. During these times of recession Itchy Feet have found that there is a growing market for Rent My Rig.

To find out more about Rent My Rig you can visit our website at http://www.rentmyrig.co.uk/ or come and see us at our next show which is the British Leisure Show at the Royal Windsor Racecourse on the 19th - 21st of March, you can find us on stand MH200.
