Is this issue of the UK’s best-selling motorhome magazine, we provide all the facts and figures on what new motorhomes will be arriving in showrooms in time for the 2012 season. All the new models from British and European manufacturers are featured. In addition, we are the only magazine to test the all-new Bailey coachbuilt six-berth motorhome – the first motorhome this Bristol-based caravan maker has ever built. Alongside this is another exclusive – this time a full road test of the 2012 Swift Bolero. If that’s not enough, we are the first magazine to get behind the wheel of Fiat’s 130bhp automatic Ducato, which is certain to be a favourite in the motorhome market. For those of you not in the market for a new motorhome, MMM is still packed with travel features on where to head for in your ‘van. In So Many Roads Andy Stothert finds spiritual heaven at Islay’s whisky distilleries, while Bob Deane explores Constable country and the Essex/Suffolk coast. We also discover that Rhyl is worth a visit. Really! Meanwhile, further afield our motorhoming correspondents tell us that there’s more to Champagne that just the sparkling wine and that you can go island hopping in Croatia in your motorhome. Finally, our travel correspondents go slightly nuts about a walnut festival in Luxembourg. This issue of MMM also has pages of reader site reviews – read exactly what likeminded motorhomers felt about a campsite before you go. For those looking to buy a secondhand motorhome, our experts give their advice on the pros and cons of used rear lounge coachbuilts and identify six great used examples. We also have a secondhand price guide to used prices for fixed and rising roof campers, while in Bargain hunter, Chloe Hukin searches out the best deals on new and used motorhomes. We also have a look at how to choose the right bike rack for your motorhome. Finally, our Interchange experts offer their advice to those needing technical advice on the technical side of their motorhome.
