MORE REASONS TO BUY This is the most exciting time of year for us, when the Which Motorhome team practically live on budget airlines, jetting from one hectic launch to the next and struggling to understand yet another presentation in German! But we put up with inevitable airport delays to bring you unrivalled coverage of next season’s motorhomes, and show those new ’vans to you first. This year’s highlights? Laika and Hobby for style, Chausson and Swift for new thinking on layout, and Bürstner/Hymer for their genreinventing van-sized coachbuilt. See them all in this issue!
