Caravan October 2025

“When everything looks like a magical oil painting, you know you are in autumn”Mehmet Murat Ildan Autumn conjures an inner feeling of cosiness; the daytime last warmth of summer and comfortable evenings relaxing in your caravan. It’s also a time when thoughts turn to next year’s holidays, and to the importance of Out & About Live’s Back British Holidays campaign; it’s great to know that Bailey has now added its weight to the campaign. Autumn is a time when many people look at new caravans. There are great bargains available – start by going to Out & About Live’s Caravans For Sale section and you will find scores.

Its unique curvy body lines and bright blue decals ensured the Action was instantly a caravan to be noticed. It was light in weight and as compact as caravans come. Nowadays, the Adria Action is still in action, still with instant visual wow-factor, and still appealing to couples for whom activity and adventure go hand in hand. The exterior is now smarter and even more eye-catching than ever, thanks to bold, black styling…

Swift caravans go into 2026 with budget as a top priority. The Sprite range – for decades representing value and aimed at first-time buyers – has been redesigned to offer lower specification and, along with it, lower prices. There are no carpets, no microwaves and there is a combined oven/grill instead of an oven with a separate grill. And weights are reduced. For example, the Sprite Alpine 4 goes down from 1,320kg MTPLM for the 2025 model to 1,247kg. Prices are from £20,995 to £22,995. On the specification plus side, sprung seating has been introduced in place of foam, the toilet is now Dometic’s ceramic bowl model, and USB-C charging points are now included. Carpets and a microwave are among options available. NEW SPRITE LAYOUT There’s a new family-layout four…

Certainly, no one in their right mind would choose to spend a few days walking in Wales at this time of year, right? In fact, nothing could be further from the truth.

Admittedly, the days can also be bleak and cold and the pubs closed at inconvenient times, and daylight hours are short, but that’s nothing a little forward planning…
