A motorhome tour to Derbyshire

2 weeks ago | practicalmotorhome.com | Peter Baber

Just our luck. Our long-term Bailey Adamo 75-4I was weeks away from being returned when we had a minor incident in a narrow lane, with a gentle nudge to both rear corners knocking off the GRP fairings. It wasn’t me, but I volunteered to get the damage repaired, because I thought it would be a great opportunity to squeeze in one more weekend with the ’van before it went back.

Knowing how to empty a motorhome cassette toilet is going to be an important bit of touring know-how.

Sun Living V65 SL

1 month ago | practicalmotorhome.com | Peter Baber

It is often assumed that models in a brand’s budget range will be the same layouts as the main line-up, just stripped of some spec. But that isn’t always the case. When Adria relaunched Sun Living in the UK this season, it included one layout in its campervan range that you can’t get in mainstream Adrias. I checked out the new ’van, the Sun Living V65 SL, at the brand’s season launch.
"Something had flattened both batteries overnight, leaving us stranded on the campsite": my first night in my campervan didn't go quite as expected

After months of consideration on layout and kit levels, I recently bought a pre-owned Autocruise Select 144 from Somerset Motorhome Centre. After collecting the vehicle from the dealership – which has large premises near Taunton – we were helpfully booked into Cornish Farm Touring Park a few miles down the road to spend our first night in the campervan. This was done in order to test everything out before taking the motorhome home the following day.

A couple of years ago, when EHG UK announced that it was giving its Xplore caravan brand a major upgrade, it also revealed plans to bring out the first-ever Xplore campervan. Thanks partly to the fallout from lockdown, it took a while to arrive. The four-berth, rear-lounge Xplore CV X8 was launched at the start of the 2025 season, and has now been joined by two more models, the three-berth CV X5, with more storage at the back, and the CV X9, like the X5 but with a pop-top roof like the X8.

The 2017 model year was an interesting one for Swift. Before then, it offered a range of panel van conversions under the Autocruise name, including the Rhythm, the Forte and – my favourite – the rear-lounge, side-kitchen Accent. However, for that season Swift came up with a new concept for its panel van range – also under the Autocruise moniker, but with a stripped-back style that took things right back to basics.
