The Caravan Club Caravan Design Awards 2010 & Lightweight Leisure Awards 2010
Published:
02 March 2010
The results of the fifteenth Caravan Club Caravan Design Awards
and the eighth Lightweight Leisure Trailer Awards were announced at
the NEC on Friday 26 February 2010.
Forty five vehicles were submitted for the Caravan Design Awards
and 29 for the Lightweight Leisure Trailer Awards.
The aim of the Awards is to provide Club members, and
caravanners in general, with fair and objective assessments of the
vehicles submitted for scrutiny. All manufacturers are
invited to submit entries.
The panel of independent Judges and Technical Researchers for
the Caravan Design Awards follow rigorous scoring checklists and
assess everything from sitting comfort, standing headroom, kitchen
design, storage, switches, wiring, security, repair and warranty
arrangements to general safety.
Similarly, Judges and Technical Experts 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, ease of erection
and pull down, together with sleeping and living accommodation.
Grenville Chamberlain, Chairman of The Caravan Club, who
announced the results commented, "The Caravan Club offers its warm
congratulations to the winners and extends its thanks to the
industry for yet again supporting these awards."
