The Heritage Caravan Company to launch a classic caravan range

The Heritage Caravan Company, launching in Plymouth this September, will be providing a range of distinctive classic caravans. The vans will be hand-built to 1930s-inspired designs, with a Mollycroft roof, sheet aluminium bodywork and furniture made from natural timber.

Insulation is of sheep’s wool for sustainability, and the vans will be finished in British Motor Corporation paint codes for the vintage look.

Nowadays, the best caravans are all kitted out with mod cons, and the good news is, you won’t have to go without by opting for one of these classic caravan reproductions. Inside, they have LED lighting, a modern kitchen with a Dometic fridge, Truma heating, a Dometic cassette toilet, a Bluetooth speaker system, among other features.

The firm aims to produce 20 units in the first year, then rising to 50. Three models will be available: the two-berth Classic (£74,995), the four-berth Adventurer (£72,995) and the compact two-berth Explorer (£54,995).

Peter Baber is Reviews Editor of both Practical Motorhome and Practical Caravan. He has been reviewing motorhomes for the best part of a decade now. His first caravan reviews date back to the early 1990s when he first worked on Practical Caravan, before he embarked on a 20-year career in business journalism which saw him edit a wide variety of magazines, and launch a few too, including one that won an award. Although he enjoyed that, he always knew he wanted to come back. Peter reports on all the new models that make it to dealer forecourts each season, giving his judgement online and in magazine reviews. He has twice been shortlisted for a Caravan Writers Guild award. When he is not working, apart from going on motorhome trips himself (mostly local to where he lives in West Yorkshire, but also last year right across France) he likes trying to write novels, cooking, throwing the odd pot, and has just taken up tennis.
