Caravan

Bargains of the month • This month’s used caravan picks all come in below £9,000, with a pair of compact two-berths and a Swift four-berth with a fixed bed and end washroom. These are older tourers, so condition checks matter, of course, but the layouts are the reason they caught our eye

Hunter Nature 4XL • If extreme terrain caravanning captures your imagination, you can now buy a caravan in Britain that’s made for the purpose

Adria Adora Tiber • A super-sized lounge, a bedroom that rivals most in terms of space, a unique-to-Adria backrest cushion design, and Alde heating

Swift Challenger Grande 640 • Maximum width, twin-axle tow stability, two lounge-dining areas – and beds for six, in an all-up weight of 1,797kg

Choosing the right outdoor furniture for your caravan • The best outdoor furniture is not always the biggest or most expensive. In fact, some planning can make your pitch more comfortable without filling up all your storage space or emptying your wallet

All you need to know about paint protection • Ceramic coatings can make a tourer easier to keep clean while adding a useful extra layer of everyday protection against dirt, marks and general wear

Choosing the right levelling system for your caravan • Ramps, inflatable bags and automatic systems all solve the same problem, but the right choice depends on the type of pitch you regularly choose, how often you tour and how much payload you can spare
