Exploring Europe and Beyond in an RS Elysian: Colin and Lynn’s Adventure

Colin and Lynn set out on an unforgettable journey in their RS Elysian, taking the very essence of what a motorhome is built for freedom, comfort and adventure across the UK and Europe. Their trip wasn’t just about destinations, but about the experiences along the way: scenic rides, iconic raceways and spontaneous stops at charming towns and hidden gems.

From the very first day, their RS Elysian proved to be a reliable companion. Trailer hitched, the couple settled in with a glass of wine, ready to embrace whatever the road had in store. Early adventures included peaceful countryside cycling and visits to historic landmarks, demonstrating how the Elysian makes both city streets and rural roads effortlessly accessible. Even a detour to Santa Pod Raceway for the 2025 NSRA Nostalgia Nationals showed the motorhome’s adaptability, offering a comfortable base while enjoying three full days of thrilling motorsport.

Colin’s racing car, The Flyin Fyfer, joined them on parts of their journey, and the Elysian easily accommodated all the gear, providing storage and space that allowed the couple to focus on the thrill of racing rather than logistics. Whether moving between drag strips in Sweden or parking near scenic lakes in Scandinavia, the RS Elysian handled every challenge, from narrow roads to extended touring distances, with smooth confidence.

Every stop brought new experiences, from tasting local cuisines in Holmfirth and Tenby to wandering the streets of Stockholm and Gothenburg. Lakeside swims, vineyard tours, and electric boat rides turned ordinary days into memorable adventures. Even when the weather disrupted plans, Colin and Lynn found ways to pause, recharge and discover something unexpected, embracing the journey itself as much as the destinations.

Over 150 years, Colin and Lynn logged thousands of miles, from UK backroads to the heart of Europe, blending motorsport, sightseeing and quality time. The RS Elysian proved that an RS motorhome isn’t just a vehicle – it’s a passport to adventure, offering freedom, reliability and style wherever the road leads.

Colin’s journey stands as a testament to the possibilities that open up when the road calls. For anyone looking to combine exploration with comfort, the RS Elysian is more than capable – it’s an invitation to create stories, memories and experiences that last a lifetime.

Recently, Colin returned to RS Motorhomes and upgraded his 2015 RS Elysian to a 2023 RS Elysian, continuing his adventures with the very motorhome that perfectly complements his love of travel and motorsport.
