Are there any magazine outlets that feature articles on vintage or classic caravans.

There seems to be lots of magazines showing peoples classic cars or restoration projects, but not many showing classic cars with their owners classic caravans .

It seems par for the course now to have something slung behind your classic at events.
We even take a small caravan to act as a tea bar/restroom/meeting place etc to some local shows.

Mind you every man and his dog wants to look inside just as you are making something to eat or drink.!!!

I think it is time to chivvy an article or two from the scribes on the classic magazines. A photo shoot would be good.

I agree entirely, however it seems that perhaps not quite enough enthusiasts
are around to justify a mag' about our interest, pity. It would be great for one of the existing mag's to include at least a few regular pages aimed at classic and vintage van's wouldn't it.

Just my thoughts entirely. A page each month would be good.

The different models explained.
Rallies that take place.
A restoration project.

I will see what I can do. I know the editor of Practical Classics.

And I see the editor of Classic Car Buyer sometimes.

Perhaps the HCC could put a extra bit of weight behind the idea, it would perhaps be handy for a little self promotion to them.
