Best Family Motorhome

We’ll be looking for motorhomes that offer enough payload for the whole family with an emphasis on practical layouts, ample storage and great value for money, with enough berths and internal space for a family holiday.

Best Fixed Single Bed Motorhome

If you want the comfort of a fixed bed, but with the luxury of individual beds, then this is the layout for you. Here, our judges select the best fixed single bed motorhome launched for the new season.

Best Fixed Double Bed Motorhome

Whether it is a French bed, transverse or an island, this award prioritises useful under-bed storage, access and the compromise between fixed bed comfort and the rest of the layout.
