- 2026 Caravan Design Awards Winners
And the winners are...
Each year at the Motorhome and Caravan Show at the NEC in October, our team of judges assess the Caravan Design Awards entrants for two weeks at home researching the caravans online based on everything from beds, sitting comfort and washroom to kitchen design, storage, general safety, exterior features and weights. They then visit each entrant prior to the Show opening to assess them in reality!
The results for 2026 were announced at the NEC on Wednesday 15 October. Take a look at the winners of the Caravan Design Awards 2025 below.
