Caravan design awards
The 2008 Caravan Design Awards, the 13th time they've been held,
attracted 58 entries this time round. As in previous years, the
awards were held at the National Boat, Caravan and Outdoor show at
the NEC in February.
There were 6 individual classes, one more than previous years
due to the addition of a dedicated fifth wheel category, with
numerous entries in each. The classes were:
- Class 1 - Any Caravan under £11,000
- Class 2 - Family Caravan £11,000 to £14,999
- Class 3 - Two berth Caravan £11,000 to £14,999
- Class 4 - Caravan with dedicated bed(s) £11,000 to £14,999
- Class 5 - Any Caravan over £15,000
- Class 6 - Any Fifth Wheel Caravan
Judges and technical experts assessed everything from the
interior designs of the bedroom, kitchen and bathroom to the
exterior design of security, lockers and awning provision. They
also took other issues into account such as warranty conditions and
handbook content and accuracy.
The Club's Chairman, Grenville Chamberlain was present to
announce the awards and congratulate the winners personally.
