About United British Caravans
Helping the North East Explore Since 1938
The story of United British Caravans stretches back generations, with a caravan dealership operating in Gosforth, Newcastle upon Tyne, since 1938.
Today, from our established home at Sandy Lane in North Gosforth, we bring together new and used leisure vehicles, servicing and aftersales, caravan and motorhome awnings, and a large outdoor leisure shop — all in one location.
A Long History of Caravanning in Newcastle
A caravan dealership was established in Gosforth, beginning a connection between caravanning and this part of Newcastle that has continued through generations.
The dealership moved to Sandy Lane in North Gosforth, establishing the site that remains our home today.
The business came under its current ownership, beginning a period of development and expansion while retaining the established Sandy Lane dealership.
A modern North East leisure vehicle dealership offering caravans, motorhomes, campervans, servicing, aftersales, awnings, accessories and outdoor leisure equipment.
Much More Than a Caravan Dealership
The leisure industry has changed enormously since 1938, and so have we. Today's United British Caravans brings several sides of leisure vehicle ownership together at one North Gosforth site.
Customers can visit us to choose a vehicle, arrange servicing, explore an awning, find an accessory or simply get practical help with the next part of their touring journey.
The United British Caravans Dealership
Carefully Selected New Vehicle Ranges
Our principal new vehicle ranges include respected manufacturers such as Bailey, Coachman, ERIBA, Etrusco and ACE, covering caravans, motorhomes and campervans.
Rather than simply choosing a badge, our team can help you compare layouts, dimensions and specifications around the way you actually intend to travel.
A Constantly Changing Choice
Used caravans, motorhomes and campervans arrive regularly through part exchange and acquisition, bringing many additional manufacturers, layouts, ages and price points to the dealership.
Every used leisure vehicle is individual, so if something catches your eye, contact us to confirm current availability before making a special journey.
The Right Vehicle Matters More Than the Sale
Buying a caravan, motorhome or campervan is a significant decision. The right choice depends on far more than price — it depends on how many people travel, where you want to go and how you want to live once you arrive.
Our aim is to help customers compare those choices properly. For some that means a compact two-berth caravan; for others it may mean a large twin-axle tourer, motorhome or campervan.
Support Before and After Collection
The Relationship Doesn't End at Handover
Leisure vehicles need looking after, which is why our North Gosforth dealership includes dedicated caravan and motorhome service facilities.
From routine servicing and maintenance to repairs, aftersales support and selected accessory installations, our workshop forms an important part of the wider United British Caravans business.
EXPLORE OUR SERVICE CENTRE →See Awnings Properly Erected Before You Buy
Our dealership includes a large caravan and motorhome awning display, with two bespoke display areas dedicated to showing a great selection of awnings.
Being able to walk inside an awning, compare materials and understand the available space can make choosing the right product considerably easier.
VISIT OUR AWNING DISPLAY →Caravan, Camping & Outdoor Living
Our large leisure shop brings together caravan accessories, spares, camping equipment, tents, outdoor furniture, cooking equipment, YETI products and touring essentials.
It means you can buy your leisure vehicle, find the equipment you need for it and return for servicing from the same North Gosforth dealership.

Our location in North Gosforth makes us convenient for customers from Newcastle and communities across Northumberland, Tyne & Wear, County Durham and the wider North East.
Proud of Our History. Focused on What Comes Next.
The leisure industry of today looks very different from the one that existed when caravans were first sold in Gosforth in 1938.
What hasn't changed is the appeal of getting away, exploring somewhere new and enjoying time outside. United British Caravans continues to develop around the way today's customers want to travel.
