Discover this year’s best campervans, why they won and how they will improve your vanlife
Judging the annual Campervan Awards is not easy. In fact, as husky-voiced, Welsh chanteuse, Bonnie Tyler, sang (sort of), it’s a dirty job, but someone’s gotta do it.
But we can now confirm that we've deliberated, cogitated and digested, and have reached our conclusions.
So, without further ado, we can now announce the results of this year’s Campervan Awards, in association with Creation Personal Finance.
It’s time for us to reward the best of the best… the new ’vans that have made the biggest impression on us over the last few months.
Our annual awards are all about helping you decide how to spend your money wisely and it’s always a tough job to pick the winners.
But some campervans stand out from the rest and, in finding them, we take into account value for money, innovation, versatility and style. In the end, sometimes it just comes down to what has that indefinable something, the X factor that sets it apart from everything else.
Over the summer and autumn, in our quest to seek out the star ’vans, we visited numerous shows, including our own outdoor events, the huge Caravan Salon in Düsseldorf and the NEC show in October, travelled to new model launches around the UK and Europe, and invited converters to a two-day campervan preview event.
We're not sure exactly how many campervans we saw, but it was a lot… and you really do come to appreciate how much work goes into every aspect of the design and development by both mainstream manufacturers and smaller independent converters.
And of course, we also invited readers to have their say in the public vote for the Converter of the Year category, which, again, saw thousands of votes cast.
Now read on to discover the winners...
