Is your caravan ready for the bank holiday?

The August Bank Holiday is generally one of the busiest weekends for caravan owners. If you’re planning to be on the road during the holiday, therefore, careful preparation is likely to be more important than ever.
To help you prepare your caravan for a bank holiday trip, here are some of the questions to ask yourself by way of a practical checklist.
What should I check before towing a caravan?
There are some checks that are worth making second nature so that they’re carried out before every journey. These include a thorough visual inspection of:
- the towing hitch;
- jockey wheel;
- any stabiliser wheel – where fitted;
- electrical connections; and
- brake lights and indicators.
These are all such critical, potentially life-saving checks, you will probably want to carry them out everytime before taking to the road.
How do I know if my caravan is overloaded?
It’s doubly important to make sure your caravan is not overloaded. It’s vital for the safety of you and all other road users. And an overloaded caravan will leave you on the wrong side of the law. So, make sure you understand and check your rig for the following:
- MTPLM (Maximum Technically Permissible Laden Mass) – this is the absolute heaviest your caravan is legally allowed to weigh when fully packed and includes the empty weight of the caravan, gas bottles, water, baggage and accessories;
- an even weight distribution – with the maximum load as far as possible over the caravan’s axle;
- avoid overloading the lockers – especially the overhead lockers which could disturb the caravan’s centre of gravity; and
- understand the manufacturer’s declared towing limits.
Inspect your tyres
The tyres form the only contact with the road of your caravan and everything within it, so make sure to check:
- tyre pressures;
- tread depth;
- cracking, splitting, and ageing; and
- the condition of the spare wheel.
Remember that your caravan tyres may need replacing because of their age and not just through visible wear. Our blog: How old are your tyres? covers this in a bit more depth.
Don’t forget the breakaway cable and mirrors
The breakaway cable is a vital safety device that applies the caravan’s brakes if it becomes detached from the towing vehicle. Before setting off, check that it is correctly attached to the towbar, the spring clip is securely closed, and the cable is not twisted or wrapped around any part of the towbar.
You are legally required to have a clear view of the road behind you when at the wheel of your car. Your caravan is likely to be wider than your car, so specially extended towing mirrors may be needed to maintain that good rear visibility.
Check your documents and insurance
Important documents to keep with you include (but are not limited to):
- caravan insurance documents for the caravan and towing vehicle – complete with your understanding of the terms, conditions, and exclusions of those insurance policies;
- driving licence;
- breakdown details and agreement;
- campsite booking confirmation; and
- emergency contact details.
Planning to tow your caravan abroad? Before you travel, check whether you need any additional documentation for the countries you’ll be visiting. Depending on your destination, you may need extra documents for your towing vehicle, caravan, insurance, or your own travel arrangements. As entry requirements can change, it’s worth checking the latest official guidance before setting off.
What emergency equipment should I carry when towing a caravan?
Whenever you take to the road – especially when towing a caravan – it is as well to be prepared for any eventuality. Your go-to emergency kit may include the following items:
- first aid kit;
- warning triangle – in some European countries, it will be essential;
- high-visibility vest;
- torch;
- basic tools;
- wheel brace;
- spare fuses;
- phone charger; and
- bottled water.
Make sure to check what on-board emergency kits you may need if you are travelling abroad. Don’t just consider your destination, but any countries you are driving through too.
Before you leave: What should be included in a caravan travel checklist?
To sum up, then, the following checks and items are likely to appear on your caravan travel checklist:
- is the tow hitch secure;
- is the breakaway cable properly attached;
- are the lights working;
- have you checked the tyres;
- is the caravan correctly loaded;
- are the appropriate wing mirrors fitted;
- have you packed the insurance documents; and
- do you have an emergency kit on board.
Safe travelling!
Carrying out these simple checks before any outing with your caravan may help you avoid roadside emergencies and make your journey safer and more enjoyable.
Before setting off this August Bank Holiday, you might want to review your caravan insurance to ensure it remains up to date and suitable for your needs, while bearing in mind that the detailed cover, terms, conditions, and exclusions may vary from one insurer to another.
Why we love having our dogs on holiday

For many people, taking their dog on a caravan holiday simply makes the experience more enjoyable. Dogs are part of the family, they encourage us to spend more time outdoors, provide companionship and often help us discover new places to explore together. With a little planning, caravan holidays can be rewarding for both owners and their four-legged companions.
Why do people take their dogs on caravan holidays?
Most owners take their dogs on holiday because they see them as members of the family.
Rather than leaving them with relatives or in kennels, many people prefer to share their holiday with them. Whether it’s relaxing outside the caravan, exploring new countryside or enjoying a coastal walk together, dogs are often happiest when they’re included in family activities.
Do dogs enjoy caravan holidays?
Many dogs adapt very well to caravan holidays because they enjoy spending time with their owners and exploring new environments.
New walking routes, beaches, forests and open countryside provide plenty of opportunities for exercise and mental stimulation. Although every dog is different, most settle quickly provided their usual feeding and exercise routines are maintained.
Are caravan holidays good for dogs?
Caravan holidays can be an excellent choice for many dogs because they combine regular exercise, outdoor activities and quality time with their owners.
Daily walks often become longer and more frequent than they are at home, while new sights, smells and experiences provide valuable enrichment.
Can dogs stay in a touring caravan?
Yes, provided the caravan park allows pets and your dog is comfortable in the environment.
Many modern caravan parks welcome dogs and offer facilities such as exercise areas, dog walks and nearby pet-friendly attractions. Before booking, it’s worth checking the site’s pet policy, as some parks limit the number of dogs or require them to be kept on leads in certain areas.
How do you prepare for a caravan holiday with your dog?
A little preparation before you leave can help ensure your holiday goes smoothly.
Check your caravan insurance
Before travelling, read your touring caravan insurance policy documents so you understand any conditions relating to pets.
For example, some insurers may place conditions on leaving pets unattended inside a caravan or expect reasonable precautions to be taken to prevent accidental damage. Always check your own policy wording before travelling.
Research your destination
Before you arrive, find out where you can walk your dog safely and whether any local beaches, nature reserves or attractions have seasonal restrictions.
Doing a little research beforehand helps you spend more time enjoying your holiday and less time looking for somewhere suitable to exercise your dog.
Know where the nearest vet is
One of the most useful things you can do before arriving is identify the nearest veterinary practice.
If your dog becomes ill, is injured or eats something they shouldn’t, knowing where the nearest daytime and emergency vet is can save valuable time. It’s also sensible to keep their telephone number in your mobile phone throughout your trip.
Pack everything your dog needs
Before setting off, remember to pack:
- food and treats;
- fresh water and bowls;
- lead, harness and spare lead;
- bedding;
- favourite toys;
- poo bags;
- towels;
- any medication;
- first aid kit;
- ID tags; and
- vaccination or pet travel documentation if required.
If you’re travelling abroad, check the latest pet travel requirements well in advance, as entry requirements can change.
Help your dog settle in
Most dogs settle quickly into caravan life, especially if you keep their routine as normal as possible.
Taking familiar bedding and favourite toys can help them feel at home, while washable throws can help protect your caravan’s upholstery from muddy paws and wet coats.
Is taking your dog on a caravan holiday worth it?
For many owners, absolutely.
Taking your dog away means they can share in the adventure, enjoy new places to explore and spend more time with the people they know best. With a little preparation, caravan holidays can create lasting memories for every member of the family—including the four-legged ones.
Frequently asked questions
Can dogs sleep in a caravan?
Yes. Most dogs settle well in a caravan, particularly if they have familiar bedding and their normal routine is maintained.
Should I find a vet before arriving?
Yes. Knowing where the nearest veterinary practice is before you need it can save valuable time in an emergency.
Can dogs be left alone in a caravan?
Always check your campsite rules and your caravan insurance policy. Even where permitted, it’s generally advisable not to leave dogs unattended for extended periods, particularly in warm weather.
What should I pack for my dog?
Food, fresh water, bowls, bedding, leads, medication, poo bags, toys, towels and ID tags are all sensible essentials.
For your dog’s safety while travelling, it’s also worth packing a properly fitted travel harness, secured travel crate or pet barrier to help keep them safe during the journey. A pet first aid kit, cooling mat for warm weather, spare collar and lead, and a recent photograph of your dog can also prove invaluable if they become lost or need veterinary attention while you’re away.

15+ ways to save money on your caravanning
The less money you spend in actually getting there, the more likely you are to be able to splash out on the holiday itself.
The money you save for your caravanning holidays is ideally used for just that – spending on your holiday so that you get maximum enjoyment from it. Read on for some money saving tips …
Caravan insurance
Before getting down to the nitty-gritty of the many practical ways of saving a penny or two, it is worth considering one crucial area where savings of genuinely significant sums may be made. And that is on the insurance cover for your caravan.
As with most other forms of insurance, getting the most affordable deal is essentially a question of knowing just the cover you want and need and then matching your requirements with the appropriate product on the market.
To help make that match and at the same time save money, you might want to focus on some or all of the following aspects of touring caravan insurance:
- review and shop around – avoid any automatic renewal of your caravan insurance and, instead, reexamine whether it continues to offer the cover you want, and shop around for the most suitable deal;
- choose a specialist provider – with so many insurance providers out there, you are likely to find that the specialist – such as ourselves at Cover4Caravans – has the knowledge, experience, and network of contacts to match your needs to the products available at a competitive price;
- your caravan and its contents – you want insurance that will safeguard and protect both your caravan and its contents, after making sure you have accurately assessed the current replacement value of the two;
- security – just as with any other insurer, caravan insurers are in the business of assessing risks, and if there is evidence of those risks having been reduced, so premiums may be reduced accordingly;
- storage – some of the biggest discounts may be potentially earned by arranging storage at a site registered with the Caravan Storage Site Owners’ Association (CaSSOA). This has 500 or so approved locations around the country, with each one graded according to such security indicators as CCTV monitoring, patrolled grounds, perimeter security and controls at entry and exit points.
The annual renewal of your caravan insurance presents a golden opportunity to review and reflect upon the current level of protection for your tourer or holiday home. This may help to ensure that you are not only giving your caravan the most appropriate form of protection but also saving yourself some money into the bargain.
Tried and tested money-saving ideas
Many money-saving tips are simply a question of good housekeeping, old fashioned remedies, and basically just common-sense ideas. Taken individually, they might not add up to much, but when they are all added together, you might genuinely notice the difference in your spending.
Good ideas are likely to come from the seasoned caravanners you encounter during your outings – or you might do worse than visiting the Caravan Club’s webpages.
The following tips and suggestions on money-saving ideas have been harvested from across the spectrum of caravan webpages:
Remapping
- spending money to save it may seem counter-intuitive, but if a short-term investment results in longer-term savings, you may be on to a winner;
- remapping your towing car’s engine is a technique designed to improve the vehicle’s performance and fuel economy – involving the replacement of the manufacturer’s software in the computerised Engine Control Unit (ECU) with software that optimises engine efficiency, performance, and fuel consumption;
- despite the initial expense of such a tune-up, several caravan users have commented that the procedure has indeed resulted in welcome savings in fuel consumption;
The way you drive
- whether you opt for a tune-up or not, the way you drive may also have a bearing on what you need to spend;
- smoother acceleration and gradual breaking may go a long way to saving on fuel, as may reducing your speed, and turning off the car’s engine when stuck in the worst of Britain’s notorious bank holiday snarl-ups;
Wheels and tyres
- your caravan’s contact with the road, of course, is through its wheels and tyres – and to keep the trailer stable, wheels need to be firmly and securely tightened to the axle and the tyres inflated to the correct pressure;
- the correct tyre pressure not only contributes to safe handling but also has a bearing on the miles you are likely to get from each gallon of fuel;
Loading
- stability and fuel efficiency – the amount of fuel needed to use and pay for – is also affected by how you load your caravan for each trip;
- ideally, the heavier items need to stay at floor level, as closely as possible above the axle of your caravan, and additional items may then be stowed in the area between the axle and the towing hitch, with only lighter items to the rear of the caravan behind the axle;
Noseweight
- as part of your regular regime when loading the caravan, it is sensible to check its noseweight to make sure that you are not overloading the van or putting undue strain on the tow bar;
- there are various noseweight gauges on the market – or you might even follow a suggestion made by the Caravan and Motorhome Club and use your own bathroom scales;
- noseweight is an important safety consideration since it affects the stability of your car and caravan, but in ensuring that the rig is as stable as possible, you are also helping to maximise your miles per gallon of fuel.
Drag
- still on the question of fuel efficiency and getting the most miles for every gallon, you might want to spare a thought for the amount of drag created by your caravan (and the extra fuel needed to battle against it);
- many caravans have a number of fittings and fixtures attached to their exterior, but where these can be removed – without compromising safety – you may help to reduce the overall effect of drag on your fuel consumption;
Route planning
- one sure-fire way of reducing the amount of fuel you burn is simply to drive the shortest possible route, without taking unnecessary detours;
- what that means is giving some thought – or a satnav – to the route you intend to take, while avoiding the twists, turns and impossibly awkward manoeuvres with a caravan on narrow country roads;
Battery
- the battery in your caravan is probably being charged through your car while you drive, and it is also likely to be charging when you are pitched at the campsite and connected to the mains;
- neither of these methods, however, may be guaranteed to give your battery a full charge – especially if you are making short-journeys and staying for just a few days – and if it goes flat while you are away, you are going to have to pay a local garage to recharge it;
- the cheaper alternative, of course, is to remember to make sure that it is recharged and running at full strength before you leave home;
- you are likely to have paid already for the electricity supplied by the campsite to your particular pitch, so use that energy resource first before consuming the gas from your own cylinders – or think about investing in a solar-powered battery charger;
Campsite fees
- avoid paying over the odds for the pitch on your favourite campsite plenty of time in advance – according to the website Caravan Advice, many people make their bookings for sites over Christmas and the New Year a whole year ahead of time, when you have the chance to pick the most competitively priced, deals;
Stocking up
- in the quieter winter months, you can have fun searching for and buying many of the new season’s caravanning accessories from secondhand sources such as classified ads, car boot sales and eBay;
- another cheaper source for such items is again at the end of the season when shops are likely to offer summer stock at sale prices – this includes kids’ toys, so that cheap frisbees, water guns, and the like can be bought cheaply and stored away for next summer;
- toilet chemicals for your caravan can also work out to be quite expensive, so consider buying them in bulk, especially when they are on special offer;
Cleaning products
- cut down on your use of cleaning products by remembering that many can be used for multiple tasks – and try some natural cleaners too, such as lemon juice and vinegar;
- stay green by recycling and reusing everything possible – making use of plastic bags from the supermarket as your bin liners, for example;
Food and drink
- invest in a slow cooker – after a long day out at the beach or walking, the last thing you may want to do is cook;
- that is when it is easy to succumb to the temptation of an (often expensive) takeaway meal – so, save money and enjoy arriving back to your caravan with a nice, hot meal waiting for you in your slow cooker;
- pre-travel, buy cheap sweets and bottled drinks that you can use on days out on your trip for the children;
- similarly, buy a couple of flasks and take hot drinks or soups for colder days out on holiday;
- half the fun of cooking on your BBQ is making your own marinade for the meat you are using – it is also considerably cheaper, not to mention tastier, than buying pre-marinated meats from the supermarket or butchers;
Deals on your days out
- before you travel, visit the local tourism website of the place you are visiting. These often have money off coupons and special family day out deals that you can take advantage of. Look out for free entry on days out too, such as museums and galleries.
Shopping around
When it comes to money-saving ideas for your caravanning trips, there is no limit to whatever your imagination and resourcefulness may devise.
From insurance to awnings, from picnic chairs and tables to the vast array of accessories you may buy for your caravan, it remains sensible to shop around and find the bargains that return the best value for money.
At times, you might be overwhelmed by the sheer choice of products and suppliers. But kitting out and safeguarding your caravan may also be counted amongst your money-saving exercises and give you the opportunity of discovering what innovations and novelties each camping season may bring.
Frequently asked questions
How can I make caravanning cheaper?
Planning ahead, booking campsites early, driving efficiently, maintaining your caravan, preparing meals and comparing insurance and campsite prices can all help reduce the overall cost of caravanning.
Does towing a caravan use more fuel?
Yes. Towing a caravan increases the weight and aerodynamic drag on your vehicle, so fuel consumption is usually higher than when driving without a caravan. Smooth driving, correct tyre pressures and sensible loading may help improve fuel efficiency.
Is caravan insurance worth it?
Caravan insurance is not legally required for touring caravans, but it can provide financial protection against risks such as theft, accidental damage, fire and certain liabilities, depending on the policy you choose. Cover, exclusions, conditions and limits vary between insurers, so it’s important to read the policy documents carefully.
When is the cheapest time to book caravan sites?
Many campsites offer lower prices outside school holidays and peak summer periods. Booking well in advance or taking advantage of longer-stay or midweek discounts may also help reduce costs.
How can I reduce the cost of maintaining my caravan?
Regular servicing, checking seals, maintaining correct tyre pressures and dealing with small repairs promptly can help prevent more expensive problems from developing.
Enjoy more for less
Saving money on your caravanning holidays doesn’t have to mean cutting corners or compromising on comfort. A little forward planning, regular maintenance and careful budgeting can all help reduce the overall cost of ownership while allowing you to spend more on the experiences that matter most.
Reviewing your insurance regularly, keeping your caravan well maintained and shopping around before making purchases can all contribute to long-term savings. By combining these practical habits, you can enjoy many more affordable adventures on the road.
Disclaimer: Information in this article is provided for general guidance only and should not be regarded as financial or insurance advice. Caravan insurance policies vary between insurers. Cover, limits, exclusions, excesses, conditions and eligibility differ, so always read the policy documentation carefully and ensure any insurance you purchase meets your individual needs.
What doesn’t caravan insurance cover? Common exclusions explained

When choosing caravan insurance, many owners naturally focus on what the policy includes. However, understanding what isn’t covered (the “exclusions”) is just as important. Understanding your policy exclusions are can help you choose the most appropriate level of protection and avoid unexpected surprises if you ever need to make a claim.
It is important to note that no two caravan insurance policies are the same.
Although many insurers provide similar types of cover, exclusions, conditions and claim limits can vary. Making sure you understand what the cover does and doesn’t entail before buying or renewing your insurance can save a great deal of uncertainty later on.
What are caravan insurance exclusions?
Every insurance policy typically contains exclusions. These are the situations or types of loss that your insurer won’t pay for, or where cover only applies if certain conditions have been met.
Some exclusions are common across the insurance industry, while others depend on the insurer and the type of policy you have chosen.
Understanding these limitations can help you decide whether a policy is suitable for the way you use your caravan.
Will caravan insurance pay for wear and tear?
In most cases, no.
Insurance is designed to protect against unexpected events rather than the gradual effects of age and regular use. Over time, every caravan experiences some natural deterioration, and this is usually considered part of normal caravan ownership rather than an insurable loss.
Examples of normal wear and tear may include faded exterior panels, worn tyres, ageing upholstery, corroded fittings, deteriorating seals or water ingress that develops because routine maintenance has been overlooked.
Regular servicing and preventative maintenance remain your responsibility.
What if damage could have been prevented?
Insurers generally expect you to look after your property and carry out routine maintenance.
If damage results from a problem that has been left unresolved – for example, a leaking roof, damaged seals or tyres that have not been replaced when necessary – your caravan insurance provider may decide that the loss could reasonably have been avoided.
Carrying out repairs promptly and servicing your caravan regularly can help reduce the likelihood of more serious problems developing.
Is mechanical breakdown included?
Mechanical or electrical failures are not normally covered under a standard caravan insurance policy if they result from age, wear, internal failure or a lack of maintenance
Insurance is intended to cover insured events such as theft, accidental damage, fire or storm damage rather than routine repair costs. Note that individual policies may not cover all these events – accidental damage cover, for example, is often an additional policy add-on.
If you own a motorhome or campervan, separate breakdown cover may also be worth considering.
Are the contents of my caravan insured?
Some caravan insurance policies include cover for personal belongings, while others offer it as an optional, paid for, benefit – or set limits on the amount that can be claimed.
Where caravan contents insurance cover is available, insurers often apply restrictions to:
- individual high-value items;
- the overall value of personal belongings;
- jewellery, electronic equipment and other valuables; and
- losses where policy security conditions have not been followed.
If you regularly carry expensive items, check whether the policy provides sufficient protection.
What happens if security conditions aren’t followed?
Security requirements are a common feature of caravan insurance.
Depending on the policy, you may be required to use approved wheel clamps, hitch locks, alarms or tracking devices when the caravan is unattended or kept in storage.
If these conditions have not been met when a theft occurs, it could affect how your claim is assessed. Before leaving your caravan, make sure you understand which security measures your insurer expects you to use.
Can anyone use my caravan?
Not always.
Some insurers place conditions on who may use the caravan or whether it can be lent to family members or friends. If somebody else will be using your caravan, check your policy first – or speak to your insurer or insurance broker – to make sure this is permitted and whether any restrictions apply.
Is accidental damage always included?
Not necessarily.
Some caravan insurance policies include accidental damage automatically, while others offer it as an optional extension.
Even where cover is available, the scope of protection may differ between insurers, so it’s worth checking exactly what is included before arranging your insurance.
How can you reduce the risk of a claim being declined?
Before buying or renewing your caravan insurance, it is worth taking a little time to:
- read the policy wording;
- understand any exclusions and claim limits;
- check the security requirements;
- keep your caravan well maintained;
- tell your insurer about any changes that could affect your cover; and
- ask your insurer or insurance broker if anything in the policy is unclear.
Caravan insurance can provide valuable financial protection, but it isn’t designed to cover every type of loss. Knowing how policy exclusions work can help you make a more informed choice and reduce the risk of misunderstandings if you need to make a claim.
Rather than comparing caravan insurance policies on price alone, take time to understand what is included, what isn’t, and whether the cover reflects how you store, use and enjoy your caravan.
If you have any questions about your caravan insurance, the Cover4Caravans team will be happy to explain your policy, answer your questions and help you understand what your cover includes, together with any conditions or exclusions that may apply.
Latest caravan news from across the UK

Whether you’re planning your next trip or already enjoying life on site, it’s been a busy few weeks in the caravanning world. Here are some of the latest UK caravanning news stories.
Well-known Welsh caravan site introduces adults-only policy
A long-established and popular caravan site in the Brecon Beacons National Park has made its views on the Welsh Government’s proposed visitor levy clear.
In a story on the 8th of June, Wales Online revealed that Dan Yr Ogof caravan site in the Brecon Beacons (Bannau Brycheiniog) has become an adults-only park because it draws the line at charging children – even those as young as babies – the visitor levy of £1.30 (plus VAT) a night per head.
The Welsh government has approved plans to charge a tax on every visitor – whether they are staying in a hotel, bed and breakfast, self-catering accommodation, or a caravan or campervan. However, Powys County Council, which is responsible for Dan Yr Ogof, must still decide whether or not to enforce the tax.
Swift shares five unforgettable UK road trips
Fancy an unforgettable road trip in your motorhome this summer? The leisure vehicle manufacturer Swift recently described the following five trips that will linger long in your memory:
North Coast 500
- many say it’s Scotland’s answer to Route 66, a 516-mile loop that starts and finishes in Inverness;
- it encompasses all the classic highland scenes of mountain glens and passes, historic castles, and glorious beaches;
Jurassic Coast
- this is a 95-mile stretch of the Devon and Dorset coast where ancient fossils lie hidden in dramatic cliffs that shelter peaceful coves;
- the Jurassic Coast is England’s only designated World Heritage Site;
The Cornish coast
- it’s practically inevitable that Cornwall’s 400-mile coastline should be included in the top five road trips;
- ever popular for good reason, Cornwall offers natural beauty, a rich maritime heritage, and encounters with a wide variety of wildlife;
Yorkshire coast and North York Moors
- this is where the wild open spaces of rugged moors come down to the sea;
- taste the freedom of the windswept moors before dropping down to quaint seaside towns and harbours;
The Cotswolds
- the Cotswolds spread over several quintessentially English counties and host the types of village cottages you’ll see gracing many a chocolate box cover;
- located in the heart of England, the Cotswolds are especially accessible from practically anywhere in England.
Overnight parking ban suspended after increase in anti-social behaviour
The Eryri National Park Authority has taken the seemingly counter-intuitive step of suspending a ban on overnight parking in nine of Snowdon’s car parks to combat anti-social behaviour elsewhere in the area, according to the BBC recently.
The ban was initially introduced because the overnight use of the car parks encouraged anti-social behaviour. But the move seems only to have forced the worst of the behaviour to move into surrounding towns and villages. So, the ban itself has again been suspended in an attempt to relieve the surrounding residential areas of the problem.
Skoda, Volkswagen, and Kia take top honours at the 2026 Tow Car Awards
The 2026 Tow Car Awards organised by What Car? awarded top honours to Skoda, Volkswagen and Kia according to Out and About Live, as follows:
- Skoda Kodiaq – best car for towing caravans up to 1,700kg;
- Skoda Elroq – top electric tow car;
- VW T-Roc – best car for towing caravans up to 1,300kg; and
- Kia Sportage – best car for towing caravans up to 1,500kg.
The awards are based on comprehensive assessments of each vehicle’s towing performance.
