MEET THIS MONTH’S CONTRIBUTORS

Caravan

Bargains of the month – previous award winners special! • Looking for the best used caravan deals on the market? This month we take a look at caravans that have won titles in Caravan’s annual awards. These examples are just a glimpse of the outstanding value you’ll find in our dedicated Out & About Live Caravans for Sale listings

flashback caravans • Looking back at some of our previous caravan reviews is a chance to revisit the tourers that made people stop, stare and rethink what caravanning could be at the time. Some pushed design boundaries, others solved problems in clever ways – and a few simply dared to be different

Coachman Lusso IV • The flagship Lusso range grows to four models this spring with the arrival of a fabulously luxurious end-bedroom layout

Knaus Yaseo 340 PX • An all-electric caravan with a drop-down bed, an induction hotplate, a light weight and a surprising amount of storage capacity

Eriba Touring 630 • A pop-up roof, first-rate storage – and a choice of bright colours!

Coachman VIP 565 • This popular twin bed model gets a layout change for this year, creating more space in the bedroom

The culinary charisma of Cornwall • A county renowned for pasties, lobsters and crabs – plus a feast week, an oyster festival and famous chefs that have helped secure Cornwall’s place as a peninsula famed for its food

The seafood specialities of the northeast coast • Fish straight from the boats, a choice of seafood restaurants, wood-fired pizzas al fresco, smoked kippers, cullen skink and crab sandwiches – a foodie exploration of England’s wild, rugged – yet quietest coast

pitchside VIEWS • This château site is a perfect introduction to holidaying in France – and is also an ideal stopover, close to Calais

A feast of food and rich culture • A bounty of food and wine, celebrated from market stalls to fine restaurants, the home of Grana Padano cheese, Franciacorta (Italy’s answer to true Champagne), salamis on strings and strong, rich aubergine stew

AN INDULGENT GETAWAY • Whether it’s a stunning restaurant, super location, or pitches with a luxury touch, this month’s selection of sites give you an excuse to indulge on your next caravan trip

What should you look for in a caravan sat-nav? • There’s a particular kind of stress that only arrives when you’re towing. You’re not worried about getting lost so much as you’re worried about ending up somewhere you shouldn’t be – a lane that tightens without warning, a bridge that looks too low, a small village you can’t turn around in. This is where caravan-specific sat-navs come in handy

Power stations for off-grid touring What they’re good for (and what they aren’t) • Portable power stations have quietly become one of the most useful bits of kit for offgrid caravanning. They’re essentially a large battery, an inverter and a smart charging system in one box, giving you a tidy way to run and charge devices without using a generator
