32nd Caravan and Motorhome Club Caravan Design Awards: Celebrating Excellence in Caravan Design and Innovation
  • 1,000+ hours of independent expert evaluation spotlight the best-designed caravans for the year ahead.
  • 12 categories highlight smart spatial layouts, practical features, high build quality, and value across the industry.
The Caravan and Motorhome Club has officially revealed the winners of its prestigious 32nd Caravan Design Awards, live from the Motorhome and Caravan Show at the NEC, Birmingham. Spotlighting the very best in caravan architecture, interior design and practical functionality, the awards celebrate the vehicles that set the standard in layout, comfort and build quality across 12 distinct categories.

Rigorous Judging: Practical Design, Space & Usability

A total of 67 entries were assessed by an independent panel of caravan journalists, touring experts, influencers and technical specialists.

Over 1,000 combined hours were dedicated to evaluating each caravan's physical form and living space, combining technical desktop reviews with comprehensive, hands-on physical inspections at the NEC. Judges scrutinised every detail through the lens of real-world usability, focusing on:
  • Comfort & Layout: Seating, sleeping configurations, spatial flow, and living area design.
  • Storage & Usability: Practical locker space, exterior access, payload practicality, and day-to-day functionality.
  • Kitchen & Washroom Design: Practical cooking space, fixture placement, ventilation, and washroom layouts.
  • Safety, Electrics & Security: Power management systems, lighting, towing safety, and security features.
  • Build Quality & Finish: Cabinetry engineering, materials, jointing, and overall fit-and-finish.
Harvey Alexander, CEO of the Caravan and Motorhome Club, commented:
"The Caravan Design Awards remain a vital resource for our members and tourers as they look to invest in their perfect home away from home. Choosing the right caravan is at the heart of every great adventure, and our independent panel of expert judges puts every entrant through its paces to help buyers find the ideal vehicle for making lasting holiday memories."

"Shining a spotlight on designs that truly excel in innovation, practicality, comfort and build quality - these awards celebrate the very best of touring. Massive congratulations to all this year's winners, and my sincere thanks to the manufacturers who continue to innovate and raise the bar across the industry."
