Features and Content

Neatly divided into six broad sections which are attractively colour coded. Unfortunately the colours in the Contents section do not correspond to the individual presentation of each section, resulting in a visually confusing reference system.

Holidays: Several interesting, well written and illustrated travel articles, featuring historical venues in Warwickshire, Gorge Walking in East Wales and overseas adventures in Brittany. Plenty to whet the appetite in each article, especially the 'off beat' gorge walking which is certainly inspiring (curiously though, the venue is not specifically mentioned, but appears to be near Abergavenny! You'll find the contents feature entitled 'Caravan' heads West ... This of course depends on your geographical location, as this is East Wales!) 8/10.

Stuff: Content distributed in various places around the magazine and includes caravan news, new gear and product tests by readers and staff. Well laid out product features and tests, provide the reader with succinct easy to digest information, attractive, detailed images and where appropriate, purchasing information. 8/10

Reviews: What all niche magazine readers are almost always looking for, are well written, concise appraisals of the core focus of the publication. Each review is well illustrated, both caravans and awning. The more successful images have people in them which always enhanced a product which people live in. Starting with a useful specification, followed by a not-too-wordy review and neatly finished off with a well laid out 'Verdict, section. 9/10.

Know How: Useful and practical section, bisected by the classifieds and competition features. From the ubiquitous 'readers questions' feature to the 'lead you by the hand' Know How articles the more practical readers are guided through various, but not too arduous tasks. The step by step solutions are nicely photographed and should encourage DIY enthusiasts. 9/10.

Towcars: Reviewing four towing cars and another associated article, this section also benefits from the Caravan Club Towcar of the Year 2012 pull-out supplement. Again, well illustrated, the head-to-head section is slightly less detailed than the individual articles and the supplement gives very basic information relating to new models. 7/10.

Chat: A miscellaneous section including readers letters, tips, and personal experiences. 7/10

Summary

Nicely presented magazine, well written articles and good images. Slightly muddled graphic presentation. Nothing too technical, an easy and informative read with the right balance of adverts to text.
