Hello, Practical Motorhome friends,
If you’ve registered with our website (top right of the home page) you should have just received our latest newsletter in your inbox.
Just in case you didn’t get it, please click here to see a web version.
This edition is mostly about our Practical Motorhome Owner Satisfaction Awards for 2013. If you didn’t vote for your favourite motorhome manufacturer or dealer this time round, don’t worry – we’ll be publishing the survey for 2014 from the April issue onwards.
Following the main announcement, I’ve filled the News section of this website with more items about the firms you voted for. Thank you for voting; our Gold and Silver Awards have gone to the very best manufacturers and motorhome dealers in Britain.
Meanwhile, in print, in the April issue of Practical Motorhome magazine, our Gentleman Jack gives his analysis of the results and what they reveal about motorcaravanning in Britain today. He looks at motorhome manufacturers and the quality of the service offered by dealers, now, compared to past years.
Here are some newsletter highlights:
Britain’s
