Camper and rv world giveaway

Campervan shared in Facebook post not part of so-called giveaway


Van pictured isn’t part of a giveaway

Using reverse-image searching, Full Fact traced the first picture of the motorhome to a web page listing the vehicle for hire in 2017. 

We contacted Luna Motorhome Hire—the company that placed the listing—and were told that while they had taken the picture, they had since sold the vehicle to another business, DG Motorhomes, which sells new and used motorhomes. 

A spokesperson for DG Motorhomes confirmed that it does currently own this motorhome, and has listed it for sale, adding: “This is the first we have heard of the giveaway and are no way linked to Happy Campers.” 

There are several other indications that the giveaway advertised in the post might not be as it appears. Firstly, the ‘Happy Campers’ page behind the post has replied to many of the comments with the same message, which reads: “Your entry is almost complete! You still need to complete the validation process first. To do this simply click the blue Sign Up button located at the top of our page. Thanks and Good Luck.” 

This goes beyond what is asked of social media users in the instructions of the post itself

Initial investigation by the
