This month we are celebrating Steve Barnes who has worked at Dolphin for nearly 10 years and has just sold his 1000th motorhome since being with us! Congratulations Steve! Steve is the Sales Manager at our Southampton Branch and a fundamental member of the team. As well as working in branch, he has worked all of our outdoor shows as well as manning the Auto-Trail stand at the NEC show every year.

Steve is married and has two children and a dog, Marley, who keep him on his toes out of work too! He’s worked in the motorhome industry for 24 years!

Want to know more about Steve?? We asked him 20 questions. Here's what he had to say

The CamperKing Pursuit has been almost a decade in development and is designed to be a new class of vehicle that is ideal for both work and leisure purposes. The Pursuit's leisure-specific qualities are a result of CamperKing working with development partners including endurance sport apparel and wetsuit brand, HUUB, and bicycle manufacturer, Raleigh.

Based on the Transporter T6.1 base vehicle, Pursuit is offered in both a two-berth (Pursuit 2) and four-berth layout (Pursuit 4), each available on a short or long wheelbase. Pursuit is equipped with a bespoke rail-floor system, featuring four floor-bonded rails compatible with a range of accessories and equipment. A full-width folding rear three-seater bed, manufactured by Mobiframe, is included with the conversion, as is a 60-litre underslung fresh-water tank, high-pressure shower attachment and three 20Ah lithium leisure batteries. The setup includes CamperKing's UK-made power management system, curtains throughout, and a choice of upholstery finishes.

By pulling the three-seater bed forward on the rails, a huge storage area is created at the back of the vehicle. This area can be used to carry bikes, paddleboards, camping gear, fishing tackle, toolboxes, building supplies – the list is almost endless.

Pursuit 2 is designed without a pop-top roof. Instead the vehicle can be fitted with an optional roof rack system featuring a range of equipment from leading overland camping kit manufacturer, Front Runner, which is part of the Dometic Group. The items include jerry cans, water containers, storage boxes, and carriers for adventure kit such as paddleboards and bikes.

Meanwhile, Pursuit 4 has a CamperKing pop-top roof, featuring a comfortable mattress providing two additional berths, for those who plan to camp with family. The roof can be fitted with optional 60W solar panels that provide exceptional power provision when out and about, as well as a half- roof rack also supplied by Front Runner.

Both models can be further customised, with options such as rear-mounted bike racks, tow bars, sidebars and hydro-dipped exterior features including wing mirrors and door handles.

Inside, Pursuit does not have the furniture kit and cooking facilities you would expect in a typical CamperKing campervan. Instead the leisure system is hidden behind an interior panel, meaning internal space is maximised, and accessories compatible with the rail system, such as jump seats and modular cooking or washing pods, can be moved in and out of the vehicle as required.

Pursuit is designed to fit around a busy lifestyle, providing a spacious passenger vehicle for weekdays or a utility vehicle for work purposes, while transforming into the ultimate leisure vehicle at weekends.
