We’ve got a very exciting new issue to present to you this week; not only have we given the whole magazine a new look, but we’ve curated the best festive content to fill it, too.
From tours that will inspire you to get out in the van this holiday season, to gift ideas for your loved ones and tips for taking care of your pride and joy – you’ll find all that and more in our new issue.
It’s not long now until the countdown to Christmas begins, so we’ve rounded up two pages of gift inspiration for all budgets to get the ball rolling.
Our new-look travel section kicks off with a sunny tour of Dorset’s iconic scenery, as John Sootheran visits the likes of Durdle Door and Bovington Tank Museum.
Then we delve head-first into a festive frenzy; Ailsa James and her husband Don visited the fairytale streets of Bruges, while the Christmas market was in full swing. Meanwhile back in the UK, Sam Johnson proves that Bath is full of magical Christmas spirit, too.
If you’re looking to go away for the holidays this year, we’ve rounded up 10 of the best sites for festive fun. Whether you’re looking for festive packages on site or an ideal location close to sparkling entertainment, there’s plenty of inspiration here.
We’ve also looked at 12 ways to have a fabulously festive Christmas in your caravan, and have tips on cooking the perfect Christmas feast in your van.
There’s some more general travel advice in the issue, too, with a Local Authority on Brighton, and our regular Road Sense feature focusing on the A303 to arm you with information that will make your journey smoother.
The new look Tested section is brimming with industry updates and shiny new vans to catch your attention.
