Welcome
After last month’s mega round-up of new models from all the top European brands, it’s pleasing to see that Bailey has enhanced its arsenal to compete with them with an enhanced Adamo range for 2025. We can’t wait to see what else the UK industry has in store for the upcoming season but, in the meantime, we’re also about to jet off to Düsseldorf for the Caravan Salon, where there are sure to be some surprises (including rumours of an €800,000 campervan!). What’s certain is that, with more brands coming to these shores (not just Elnagh and VanTourer as highlighted in this issue), there will be more choice than ever in 2025.
If you’re not so fussed about having the very latest spec, or the new-look Series 10 grille on your Fiat cab, then there are also some great deals out there right now and there’s no better place to grab a bargain than at the Show Season Finale at Lincoln (20 to 22 September). Maybe you’ll spot me there (do say hi), but I won’t be shopping for a new ’van for myself − just seeking out the latest news for these pages. That’s because the family VW is still providing sterling service, as you can read on page 37. We’re only just home from 15 fantastic days in France in it, having enjoyed blue skies and hot, hot sun day after day. Living the dream!
