"Our indicators weren’t working properly. When signalling to turn right the back indicator signalled left and vice versa!!"
The Beechams from Scotland
Watch to see how the Beechams got on!
Great word of feedback from the Beechams
We would love to thank Cara Motorhomes for helping us last Saturday. We are from Scotland and touring Ireland for a month in our brand new motorhome, we’ve only had it 2 weeks. A member of the public told us our indicators weren’t working properly. When we signalled to turn right the back indicator signalled left and vice versa!! We were very lucky not to have caused an accident.
We phoned Cara Motorhomes who told us to come along right away and within half an hour they had fixed the wiring. Can’t thank them enough. Would highly recommend them.

The Humble Beginnings of Cara Motorhomes: The 1989 Volkswagen Van Transformation
It all started with a vision and a vintage Volkswagen van.
In 1989, John Lenihan embarked on a project that would mark the inception of Cara Motorhomes—a name now synonymous with quality and innovation in the motorhome industry.
The transformation of this simple blue van into a fully equipped motorhome sparked a revolution that has continued to inspire and evolve over the decades.
A Visionary Project
The van, a classic Volkswagen model, was carefully selected by John for its robust build and iconic status. He envisioned transforming this everyday vehicle into a mobile home that could offer freedom, adventure, and comfort to its occupants. The project was ambitious, involving extensive modifications that would turn the van into a self-contained travel companion. Comprehensive Upgrades
The original blue van underwent a remarkable transformation. A rooftop was fitted, ingeniously designed to allow for additional sleeping quarters—a feature that maximized space and functionality. The inclusion of a front and rear bumper kit not only enhanced the van's aesthetics but also added an extra layer of protection for road travel.
Inside, the van was equipped with all the amenities needed for a comfortable journey. A full kitchen with a fridge, sink, and cooking facilities made it possible to prepare meals on the go, while a dinette area provided a cozy space for eating and socializing. The addition of a toilet was a game-changer, ensuring convenience and self-sufficiency for longer trips.
Aesthetic Transformation
Once the functional upgrades were complete, the van received a cosmetic makeover that truly set it apart. The exterior was sprayed all white, giving it a sleek, modern look that earned it the nickname "the bees' knees." This transformation was not just about utility but also style, reflecting the ethos that Cara Motorhomes would carry forward into all its future projects.
Legacy of Innovation
This initial project laid the foundation for what Cara Motorhomes would become. It showcased John's commitment to quality, innovation, and customer satisfaction. Over the years, the company has grown, but the core values and the pioneering spirit of that first Volkswagen van conversion remain at the heart of every motorhome Cara designs and builds.
Today, Cara Motorhomes is known for its wide range of custom and state-of-the-art motorhomes, each designed with the same attention to detail and passion that started with a single Volkswagen van in 1989. John Lenihan's vision has grown into a thriving business that helps adventurers explore the world in comfort and style.
