Grenville Chamberlain, chairman of The Caravan Club, who announced the results said: “Our thanks to the manufacturers for their continued support of this competition. We had an astounding number of vehicles to evaluate, a record 122 entries. Against such an esteemed field of leisure vehicles, the winners should be justly proud of their success.”
