Caravan Design Awards 2024 and Lightweight Leisure Trailer Awards 2024

Caravan and Motorhome Club Caravan Design Awards 2024 & Lightweight Leisure Trailer Awards 2024

The results of the 29th Caravan Design Awards and the 20th Lightweight Leisure Trailer Awards were announced at the NEC on Wednesday 18 October 2023. The awards were presented by Club Chairman, Grenville Chamberlain OBE, and Club Director General, Nick Lomas.

Judging took place during the Motorhome and Caravan Show at the NEC in October and via desktop assessment prior to viewing the vehicles. 52 vehicles were submitted for the Caravan Design Awards and 35 for the Lightweight Leisure Trailer Awards. These awards provide the best quality, and quantity, of information to members and buyers.

Before going to the NEC, the expert panel collectively spent over one thousand hours going through an immense amount of data from websites, brochures, handbooks and entry forms to complete in-depth evaluations via desktop - the judges then went to the NEC to physically view the vehicles to complete this comprehensive judging process.

Nick Lomas, Director General of the Caravan and Motorhome Club said, “This invaluable source of information will provide people with the information they will need to help with their next caravan or lightweight leisure trailer purchase. We hope it will inspire many people to look at leisure vehicle holidays as an option to explore, have adventures and great holidays. The Club would like to thank the manufacturers
for their continued support of our competitions. Our sincere congratulations go to all the winners.”

The purpose of the Awards is to provide guidance for Club members who are looking to change their current caravan or trailer tent and to provide advice for those looking to begin this leisure pursuit. The Club’s Award results are always eagerly anticipated for this very reason. The Caravan Design and Lightweight Leisure Awards offer fair, independent and objective assessments of the vehicles submitted for scrutiny.

The panel of independent Judges for the Caravan Design Awards follow rigorous scoring checklists. Judges assess everything from sitting comfort, standing headroom, kitchen design, storage, switches, wiring, security, repair and warranty arrangements to general safety.

Similarly, Judges for the Lightweight Leisure Trailer Awards assess everything from weights and measures to Thermal Insulation Grade and recommended tyre pressures. Further scrutiny awarded merit for build quality, setting up on site, together with sleeping and living accommodation.
