2009 was the year that saw the great British holiday make a comeback, and camping and caravanning holidays enjoyed a resurgence of their own as more people chose "staycations". All the signs are that this trend will continue; with people having already booked for 2010 for their Camping/Caravanning holidays.

The Author John Wickersham started caravanning in 1954 and is an authoritative contributor to the caravan and motorcaravan press. His expertise in DIY includes caravan renovation as well as building a boat, two motorcaravans, three kit cars and his home in Bedfordshire.
