The Caravan Owners Club

[nathaniel]

Dear Readers,

I am currently studying for a degree in Product Design at the University of Nottingham and my final project looks at redesigning the caravan/camping experience for the 21st century. I intend to come up with a design that is a departure from convention but still maintaining the spirit of the caravan and incorporating innovative methods of creating space.

I would like to collect some information from current caravan owners or avid campers about your camping experiences. What are the main things that you like and dislike about your caravan? Which features are essential and are there any that you don’t even use? Any fundamental or minor problems during towing, or everyday use (e.g. when cooking, sleeping, storage etc)? Have you any thoughts about improvements that could be made in existing caravan design to cater for your needs?

Any feedback will be very helpful for me in understanding the needs of the market and to be able to put together a design specification.

Thanks, N.
