The award-winning caravans of the 2024 season have been announced

Our annual awards have returned for another year, in association with Creation Personal Finance – and the results are in.

Caravan magazine is delighted to announce its 2024 Caravan Awards, which focus on placing the very best caravans of the new season squarely in the spotlight.

The awards have been judged by the Editor of Caravan magazine, Louise Cottrill, and long-time contributor to the brand, Val Chapman.

This is a brief overview of the winners for 2024, so check back in soon for a detailed breakdown of the winning caravans!

Caravan Awards winners 2024:

 


Best Luxury Caravan: Swift Elegance Grande 835

For this category, our judges are looking for the best, no-expenses spared, highest- specification model that would most appeal to those looking for unsurpassed levels of comfort.

Best Family Caravan: Adria Altea 622 DK Avon

A category in which space – and storage capability – are key factors. Five and six berths were looked at in our quest to find a very special family caravan. And we found one with some innovative features, too.

Coolest Caravan: La Mancelle Liberty 440 PC

Straying away from mainstream tourers in search of an award winner is rather fun. We looked for a caravan with outstanding and totally unique visual appeal while also having excellent tourer practicality.

Best Lightweight and Compact Caravan: Xplore 304

It’s easy to quantify a tourer if you simply look at figures relating to size and weight, but our winner had to have special appeal as well as being light in weight and compact in size.

Best Caravan Under £30,000: Sprite Grande Major 4 SB

The winner of this category has to earn a big, fat tick the box marked ‘value’, of course – but it’s the elements that make a caravan special that are important – and that’s what we assessed closely in the quest for the winner in this category.

We sought out a classic two-berth layout tourer for this award. Among elements that we scrutinised is kitchen size and storage capability, as well as weight. We were looking for a tourer with outstanding features – and we found one…

Best Four-Berth Caravan: Coachman VIP 575

We assessed single-axle, fixed bed models for this award. In an area of the market where competition is at its most fierce, with so many model from which to choose, it was a tough task to pick one.
