Lightweight Leisure Awards 2015

Four judges have marked vehicles against specific criteria to give you an idea which trailers you should consider for future purchases.

The trailers are judged on their ease of setting up on site, available living area when set up, kitchen equipment supplied, bathroom equipment supplied, position of electric sockets and many other areas.

This year there were 31 entrants across 9 different categories.
