Welcome to Carthago Owners UK

Le Coin Tranquille, France Sept 2019

Carthago Owners UK is a group of like minded, discerning people who have chosen to own a Carthago or Malibu motorhome. Membership is open to all Carthago and Malibu owners in UK and to those English speaking owners abroad who would like to be kept informed of the UK based activities. We also welcome new members who are waiting for their new Carthago or Malibu to arrive. 

Membership is £5 per annum (Jan - Dec)

The purpose of the group is to share information and experiences and to get together for meetings both at home and abroad.

It is an enthusiastic clan of over 900 owners who share a love of their Carthago and Malibu motorhomes, walking, cycling, nature, photography, history, music and much more. Our individual experience ranges from complete novices to people with many years and tens of thousands of miles of motorhome travels behind them.

Members have access to the member only pages on this site giving the members directory, meeting bookings, club history and photographs, technical issues and travel advice. Members can also join our very active private Facebook group.
