Heading out on a caravan adventure soon? Before hitting the road, there’s one often-overlooked step that could save travelers a major headache. While everyone remembers the standard checks like tyres, lights, and hitching up, the state of the caravan's interior—specifically the blinds—is crucial.

Failing to retract these blinds before towing can lead to serious damage. Because of the spring mechanisms inside, the vibrations and bumps from potholes during the journey can cause the springs to snap or malfunction, leaving travelers with broken blinds upon arrival. It is a simple, quick habit that prevents unnecessary repair bills and keeps everything in working order for the trip ahead. A quick check now means a much smoother setup later.

A stunning 2019 Coachman 3-berth luxury caravan has just arrived and it is already turning heads! This spacious family van features a huge front sunroof, a motor mover, and an impressive rear washroom that really elevates the experience. Whether you’re looking for comfort or style, this model hits the mark.

But that’s not all—this look at the latest caravan arrivals also features a sneak peek at the high-spec 2026 Coachman Kingsham Special Edition, complete with its own massive washroom and premium fittings.

Beyond the showroom tour, there’s a vital reminder for all caravan owners hitting the road this season: don’t overlook your towing mirrors. It’s a common mistake, but failing to use them can lead to a fine of up to £1,000 and three penalty points on your license. Always ensure you have a clear, unrestricted view behind your vehicle.

Which caravan feature matters most to you—a massive fridge or that feeling of extra living space?

Think your caravan is safe during a heatwave? Think again. Extreme temperatures can cause silent, costly damage that many owners completely overlook until it’s too late.

Mark highlights a critical issue many caravanners face: window alignment. When the mercury rises, the weight of a caravan window—combined with the heat—can actually cause the window bars to shift, leading to gaps, misalignment, and potential leaks. It’s a simple mechanical failure that can turn into an expensive repair if left unchecked.

Get the step-by-step on how to inspect your window fixings, how to test for movement, and why proactive maintenance is essential for keeping your mobile home in top condition during the summer months. Don't wait for a rainy day to find out your seals have failed.

The UK caravan market is facing a bottleneck that’s only set to tighten by 2027. With production levels stagnating and no significant increase in volume on the horizon, the outlook suggests that finding a quality caravan is about to become even more challenging. Mark breaks down the numbers and explains why the current shortage isn't a temporary blip, but a trend that could make the coming years even tougher for buyers. Anyone looking to hit the road needs to prepare for a market defined by limited supply and shifting availability.

From the shortage of quality used caravans impacting availability and prices to the shifting production levels manufacturers are throwing our way, this breakdown cuts through the noise. Plus, catch a brief, hilarious moment where the lines between rhythm and rhyme get completely blurred over a campervan. 😅

Whether you're looking to buy or sell, get the inside scoop on where the market is really headed before you make your next move.

Ever wondered if you could ditch the sedan and make a campervan your daily driver? Mark breaks down exactly why these versatile vehicles are becoming the ultimate choice for everyday life. With modern layouts, easy maneuverability for parking, and enough comfort to handle the daily commute or grocery runs with ease, the lines between a leisure vehicle and a daily runner are blurring.

Featuring a pristine 2022 model with only 26,000 miles, this deep dive explores how shifting away from traditional cars might just be the upgrade you didn't know you needed. Discover why swapping the daily grind for van life—even for just getting to the office—is more practical than most realize.

Thinking about trading up that trusty VW camper? Many adventurers find that what starts as a perfect weekend getaway vehicle eventually leads to a desire for more space and comfort. Mark breaks down the natural evolution of van life, exploring why so many nomads eventually find themselves upgrading to larger motorhomes or even switching to touring caravans as their travel habits shift.

It’s all about finding that Goldilocks sweet spot—balancing the convenience of a compact van with the long-term usability of a bigger rig. Whether you’re currently weighing your first purchase or contemplating a major upgrade for extended trips, this breakdown offers some essential perspective on when and why it’s time to size up.

Thinking about upgrading your caravan with extra gear? Before pulling out the wallet, it’s worth crunching the numbers. Many buyers get tempted to retrofit accessories like air conditioning or motor movers onto their current setup, but the math often doesn't add up.

As Mark points out, chasing individual upgrades can sometimes be a money pit. Often, opting for a special edition caravan that comes factory-fitted with high-value extras is a significantly smarter financial move. For a small bump in price, you can snag thousands of pounds worth of gear that keeps its value, rather than spending that same amount on retrofits that won't increase the resale value of your current van. It’s all about working smarter, not harder, when it comes to caravan investment.

Towing a caravan involves more than just hitching up and hitting the road. Mark breaks down a crucial safety tip that many caravanners overlook: the dangers of having too light a nose weight.

While the temptation is to keep the weight down, doing so can actually make towing a nightmare. To ensure a smooth, stable, and safe journey, the goal should be to load your caravan right up to the maximum permitted nose weight. Forget about shifting weight to the back to play it safe—proper distribution is the secret to avoiding those dreaded towing issues. Whether a seasoned pro or new to the caravanning lifestyle, these expert insights on weight limits and stability are essential for every trip.
