We are delighted to announce that our ‘Caravanner of the Year’ competition was filmed by the BBC and will be on BBC2 on 20 and 27 April!

We hope it gets you in the mood for getting out there and enjoying the summer season on our wonderful sites network.

The enthusiasts were faced with a variety of challenges covering activities such as manoeuvring, navigation, hospitality and caravanning knowledge.  There was also the precision challenge of the Concours D’Elegance which demanded much polishing and primping of their vehicles!

The first programme will introduce the entrants and whittle them down to the three finalists.

Tune in and watch, and don’t forget to tell your friends and family about it too!

Good grief! Didn't watch the first episode but thought I'd try tonight's installment. All I can say is they should try caravanning on their own. I tow a large twin axle on my own all over the uk. I find my way to club sites and CLs without a satnav. Spent three months touring Scotland in the winter. Towed over the Cairnwell (2,000') in snow. Pitched up at Braemar and endured temperatures as low as -14.1°. Single handedly cleared almost a foot of snow off my pitch. To get to a site and set up on your own after driving a couple of hundred miles and to be the only one who is there to do all the jobs is something us single caravanners have to take in our stride. Now that derverves a medal!

what a load of rubbish dread to think what the general public will think of caravanners if they can watch the program.

Glad I missed it. Sounds just about as bad as the first episode sounded. What a waste of our money as I bet the BeeB didn't pay for all the gifts(?) I presume were given at the finish.
