Motorhome and Campervan Design Awards 2024

14/02/2024

The results of the twenty-fifth Caravan and Motorhome Club Motorhome and Campervan Design Awards were announced today. Judging took place during the Caravan, Camping & Motorhome Show at the NEC in February and via desktop
assessment prior to viewing the vehicles.

Sixty vehicles were submitted for the Motorhome and Campervan Design Awards. The Competition provides the best quality, and quantity, of information to members and buyers. There’s never been a better time to explore the great outdoors and the Caravan and Motorhome Club does all it can to inspire its members and help them to make the most of their leisure time. The Club helps members to get more for their money and save by providing great offers on holidays, leisure and family activities, everyday products and touring essentials.

As the No. 1 rated UK touring club and trusted experts with 117 years of experience, the Club is delighted to share the data and information gathered from the Motorhome and Campervan Design Awards to help members and tourers make an informed decision about their next leisure vehicle purchase.

The vehicles went through a rigorous desk based evaluation prior to the judges going to the show to view the motorhomes and campervans. 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 entries were thoroughly assessed against an extensive criteria including security, electrics, bed sizes, solar panels, kitchen, washrooms, heating, leisure batteries, technical aspects, USB sockets and entertainment. The vehicles were
also evaluated regarding mechanical specifications, ISOfix points, number of seat belts provided, ease of parking assist technology and driver’s aids.

At the Caravan, Camping & Motorhome Show at the NEC, the judges then viewed the vehicles to complete this comprehensive judging process.

Nick Lomas, Director General of the Caravan and Motorhome Club said, "Huge congratulations to all the winner and our sincere thanks to our industry colleagues for their continued support of these awards which provide an invaluable source of information and inspiration for people looking to either start this leisure pursuit or change their vehicle."

David Turner, Chairman of the Caravan and Motorhome Club, who presented the awards to the winners commented, "It was great to see such a quality range of vehicles entered into the Motorhome and Campervan Design Awards, I’d
also like to thank our judging panel for their hard work and dedication assessing the competition entries."
