ONSIDE / COMPANY PROFILE
On the road with RS Motorhomes
Seneca’s investment into RS Motorhomes has given the
Yorkshire-based business a whole new lease of life
R
S Motorhomes are the Bentley
and Rolls Royce of motorhomes.
Large, elegant, well appointed
and a definite touch of class about them.
Based on a chassis from Mercedes, Fiat
or Iveco, they are particularly popular
amongst motor sport enthusiasts, as the
rear compartment can accommodate
bikes in a separate area from the
sleeping and living areas.
From the top-end Envoy, through
the Evolution, Endeavour, Elysian and
Equinox models, all told, the retail price
is between £70,000 and £250,000, so
customer care is paramount. And the
purchase is one of the most emotionally
significant a purchaser may ever make
– often a purchase signals the start of
a long and happy retirement. So when a
new motorhome rolls out of the factory
in South Yorkshire, it’s vital to get the
detail right.
The business has done well since it
was formed 25 years ago, by maintaining
a good market position even with the
recession squeezing the market for large
purchases. But, like many businesses,
the company fell victim to the changing
policies and attitudes of banks in the
brave new world following the financial
crisis of 2008.
It was a stressful and testing time for
RS Motorhomes owner Mick Rowe,
