The LEGO brick caravan was certified the world’s largest by an official Guinness World Records adjudicator with celebrities Carl ‘Foggy’ Fogarty and Matt Baker laying the final bricks.

Built by a team of 12 certified, professional LEGO builders the two meter long caravan took 1,000 man hours to construct and features a full interior, with electric lights, fridge – just like the real thing.

The 2015 record breaker has enjoyed its place at top spot for the last two years as the biggest caravan ever made from the plastic bricks, with 215,158 used in total.

It can be seen up close at the The Motorhome & Caravan Show at The Birmingham NEC between 11-16 October.

CEO of the National Caravan Council, John Lally, said: “The caravan is an amazing tribute to the motorhome and caravanning industry. We’re delighted that it’s retained its Guinness World Record this year and will come to the Motorhome & Caravan Show 2016.

“The level of detail is incredible and we hope that it continues to help inspire young people to get involved and enjoy our industry.”

The LEGO caravan will join almost 400 exhibitors at the popular show, with nearly every leisure vehicle under one roof, along with holiday idea, accessories and much more.

The show is the biggest leisure vehicle launch event of the year and the only show where all the new-for-2017 motorhome, caravan models and accessories are revealed.

Along with all the latest product news, the show will also be attended by several well-known celebrity faces keen to share their love of the great outdoors.
