I have been asked to find / recommend places that hire motorhomes / camping cars near Calais for friends coming over for the LeMans Classic in late June. They will need two vehicles, something big enough to be able to leave the double bed in place during the day so something bigger than a converted VW van. I live in the south so don't know the area at all but I know some of you live in the frozen north and would very much appreciate the benefit of your collected wisdom, knowledge and experience. Thank you in advance.

Wikicampers.
Looks like a platform for person to person rentals.

I did this a few years ago for a friend competing at LMC.

There were a number of companies renting them locally, however they were bare, as the vehicles were really stock for sale - not a cup and saucer or any cutlery. A tent and blow-up bed would be as useful.

I ended up renting from a guy advertising on Leboncoin and got a fully equipped unit at a reasonable price, plus I could check it out before committing. They tend to be very keen on the number of kms/day, so not sure if that would work from Calais.

There are companies that rent out static units at the circuit, these range from something normal to mobile huts, to a luxury Raptor. Another friend (wealthy) had one of these at Goodwood FoS and then shipped it to LeMans.

Well, not as straightforward as I thought but think I have now found a company who rent out fully equipped motorhomes at the dates and place required. Thank you all for your help, always appreciated!
