Chelston Motorhomes

By 1988 the Motorhome business was booming and it was in this year that Chelston made an enormous leap forward when they obtained their first official franchise with Autotrail. Chelston's reputation was already high but in 1989 upped its prestige even further by securing its second Franchise, this time with Burstner. By 1998 the original site was beginning to get extremely overcrowded. Having outgrown the site the decision to was taken to purchase land on the Business Park at Chelston with the aim being to develop a brand new Motorhome and Caravan Centre. In the spring of 1998 the first turf was cut and the building began in earnest. The building was finally completed and opened by MP Jackie Ballard in 1999. By 2002 the business had expanded enormously. As well as the original franchises of Burstner and Autotrail, Chelston had added Bessacarr to its impressive portfolio. Expansion was sorely needed, so in 2004 the decision to open a New Service Centre on the estate was taken and construction began. 2005 was a seminal year for Chelston as the much anticipated Service Centre was finally opened. This purpose-built Service Centre is fully Fiat Approved and has the capacity to service, repair and MOT more than 40 vehicles at any one time. 2005 was also the year that Chelston were awarded franchise status for Orian, Tribute and Adria. 2011 saw the introduction of the Autocruise franchise to add to Chelston's already impressive portfolio. 2012 and beyond will see Chelston creating new standards in excellence and customer care. Product expansion will continue and new areas developed such as internet shopping. 2013 Saw Chelstons brand new service department open. Situated adjacent to sales the new service building is a modern facility that allows us to coordinate sales and service much more efficiently due to the two departments now being joined on the same site. 2014 we open a brand new MOT centre and bodyshop on the new Service Department site.
