At Southdowns Motorhomes, we want you to feel confident and comfortable with your new motorhome before you set off on your first trip. Our handover process is designed to give you all the information you need in a clear and practical way.
What to Expect on Handover Day
When you collect your motorhome, you’ll receive a personal handover with Simon, one of our experienced technicians. Simon will guide you through all the key features and controls, ensuring you understand how everything works. This session lasts approximately two hours, giving you plenty of time to ask questions.
During the handover, we’ll cover:
- How to operate the heating, water, and electrical systems
- Using the kitchen appliances
- Setting up and using the bed arrangements
- Filling and emptying water tanks
- Gas bottle connection and safety checks
- Basic driving tips, including the best way to manoeuvre and park
- General maintenance and servicing advice
If you have specific questions or need extra help with anything, our technician will be happy to go over things in more detail.
A Comfortable Environment
To make your visit more enjoyable, our handover area includes:
- A comfortable seating area
- Complimentary tea and coffee
- Free on-site parking
If you’re travelling from further away and need to stay overnight, we can recommend local campsites and hotels.
Booking Your Handover
Once your motorhome is ready for collection, our team will call to arrange your handover appointment. Handover appointments can be booked in at 10:00am or 14:00pm Monday-Friday. We believe picking up the keys to your new motorhome is reason to celebrate, so remember to grab a photo with our happy handover board.
If you have any questions before or after the handover, our team is always available to help. You can call, email, or visit us in person.
On-Site Accessories Shop
When you visit for your handover, you can also explore our on-site motorhome accessories shop. Stocked with a wide range of essentials, from kitchenware and electrical items to outdoor furniture and security products, it’s the perfect place to pick up any extras you might need for your travels.

We want you to drive away with confidence, knowing that you have all the information you need to enjoy your motorhome. A well-informed handover means you can start your adventures with peace of mind.
