Late summer is an exciting time of year for caravan and motorhome enthusiasts, with the major manufacturers often choosing September and October to launch their new models.
And according to the National Caravan Council (NCC), Brits can expect the 2012 ranges to offer more comfort, while at the same time reducing weights.
A spokeswoman noted that this means those looking for the latest gadgetry and specification can get their hands on the newest vehicles, while those looking for a bargain can do deals on last year’s tourers and motorhomes.
“If you had to describe what’s new about the 2012 touring caravans in five words, it would be ‘more home comforts, less weight’,” she said.
“Improvements have been made not just in styling, but in practical areas – thermal insulation, shower facilities, fridge-freezer capacity – and in on-board entertainment, with directional aerials for better TV reception, and radio/CD/MP3 players with iPod connectors.”
The NCC representative also highlighted the NEC Motorhome and Caravan Show, which runs from October 11 to 16, as a great place to check out these new models.
