James Staff Image
Meet the Maple team James Wood Director

James’s enthusiasm for motorhomes, campervans and caravans is what initially started us in this industry. He did some work experience at Maple Garage years ago and then started full time employment here after leaving college. Being an avid user of motorhomes himself, along with his wife and two children, James is more than happy to share his experiences of camping trips and road trips with you.

In his spare time James tinkers with his rally car or can be found out and about in a motorhome. “My favourite van is the Wildax Solaris XL, which ticks most of the boxes for my needs. It’s great to drive, easy to park and it comfortably fits all four of us in. There’s nothing better than sitting outside under the canopy, BBQ sizzling away and watching the sun set. My ‘go to’ place is Scotland. I love it up there, and over the years we’ve visited pretty much all areas of it, and we keep finding amazing places each time.”
