Our panel of experts

Sarah Wakely, Editor

Sarah has been editor of PC since 2018, but has been working on the magazine since 2013. She loves everything caravanning and travel related; one of her very earliest memories is holidaying in Cornwall in the family’s 1980s Sprite Alpine. She hasn’t stopped touring since!

Paul Critcher, Deputy Editor

Paul has more than 20 years’ experience as a journalist, and has covered everything from sailing in the Seychelles to shark diving in the Bahamas. A lover of the great outdoors, his next trip will take him to the Outer Hebrides

Peter Baber, Reviews Editor

Peter started off in journalism as a staff writer for PC back in the early 1990s. After more than 20 years in business journalism, he found he missed getting out on the open road. He now spends much of his time doing just that, reviewing new caravans and finding the latest vehicle news

David Motton, Tow Car Editor

A former editor of PC and What Car?, Motty has a long journalistic pedigree. His detailed tow car reviews for the magazine are highly respected by readers and colleagues alike. If the team have any car-related queries, Motty is always first port of call

John Sootheran, Consulting Editor

John started his journalism career with Practical Photography, before moving to automotive titles and Caravan magazine, where he was editor.

He’s won several Caravan Writers’ Guild Awards, and says his favourite touring destinations are in France: “I love it – we’ve had some amazing adventures”

Andy Jenkinson, Contributor

An authority on used caravans, Andy has been a caravanner since 1969, when he went on tour with his parents in an Elddis Tornado towed by a Ford Cortina 1600E. An expert on the UK caravan industry, he has also published 16 books so far, and regularly tests new and used caravans for PC

Nigel Hutson, Contributor

Keen caravanner Nigel writes on all aspects of his life-long hobby, including travel, van reviews and technical articles, for the magazine. He prefers to describe himself as an ‘enthusiast’ rather than an expert, but his vast experience and knowledge of all things caravan are truly impressive!
