The Practical Caravan Awards 2023, held in association with Auto Finance, will be starting on 26th September!

The Awards see our expert judging panel use our combined decades of experience to pick out the standout models on the market, covering a range of categories. Last year, we expanded the Awards, making them bigger and better than ever to make sure we were providing our readers with all of the information they could need to make informed buying decisions, whether they were looking to buy the best caravan, a towing vehicle, or an accessory.

This year, we’ve made some additional changes to our Awards. Firstly, we’ve decided to extend the duration of the event, taking you up to just before the start of the NEC show (18th-23rd October). As a result, the Awards will be starting on 26th September and running up until the 16th October – only two days before the NEC show begins.

We’re also introducing two new categories – the first of these is the best caravan under £25,000, and the second is the Practical Caravan Anniversary Award. We’re in a well-placed position to be picking out the best of the best; after all, Practical Caravan has been around for 55 years now, and to celebrate our special birthday, we’re picking out the manufacturer, range or product that we believe has made the biggest difference to the industry in that time.

Who will win this special category? You’ll have to wait until our Awards are underway to find out!

We’re excited for what’s coming up – and we hope you are too!
