Peter Baber

Peter is Reviews Editor of both Practical Motorhome and Practical Caravan, a magazine he first worked on in the 1990s before going away for 20 years to work in business journalism and magazine start-ups, one of which won a national award. Although he enjoyed that, and writing the odd piece for national newspapers, he always knew he wanted to come back. Peter is responsible for reporting on all the new models that make it to dealer forecourts each season, and giving his judgement in online and magazine reviews. When he is not working, apart from going on motorhome trips himself, he likes training for marathons (he completed the London Marathon in 2019) and trying to write novels.
