The results of the thirteenth Caravan Club Caravan Design Awards were announced at the NEC, Birmingham, United Kingdom on Saturday 23 February 2008. And following on from Airstream's success at the German 'Caravan Magazin' awards in which the International 684 won the 'Best Import' award, the 684 has been named 'Best Caravan' again by The Caravan Club.

Fifty eight vehicles were submitted for the awards which aim to provide Club members, and caravanners in general, with fair and objective assessments of the vehicles submitted for scrutiny. All manufacturers are invited to submit entries.

The panel of independent Judges and Technical Researchers from the Caravan Design Awards follow rigorous scoring checklists and assess everything from sitting comfort, standing headroom, kitchen design, storage, switches, wiring, security, repair and warranty arrangements and general safety.

There were 15 entries in Airstream's category - ‘Any Caravan Over £15,000’.  This is regarded as THE category to win and featured the highest number of entries from all of the major (and minor) manufacturers who enter the vehicle they consider to be their best.

Grenville Chamberlain, Chairman of The Caravan Club, who announced the results commented, “It is great to see another year of fantastic support for these awards. The Caravan Club is truly grateful to the manufacturers for their enthusiasm for these awards.”

The Caravan Club represents the interests of one million caravanners, motor caravanners and trailer tenters and offers an unrivalled network of quality sites in the UK with a choice of around 3,000 locations.
