With the film world enjoying the high-profile excitement of Oscar season recently, you may be interested to note it has also been awards time for the leisure vehicle industry. Each year the Caravan And Motorhome Club, the UK’s top club for travellers, give out gongs to the best motorhomes, campervans and caravans in various different categories. Here at Continental we’re proud to stock some of the blockbusters which won in their Design Awards for 2024, and in this edition of our blog we’re rolling out the red carpet and welcoming you to read about them…

 

1.   Our award-winning vehicles

Category: Van Conversion with a rising or pop top roof 6 metres and under
Winner: Bailey Endeavour B64

Introduced to the market in the latter half of 2023, the Bailey Endeavour B64 is part of a two model range from Bristol-based manufacturer which marks their inaugural venture into panel van conversions. This Ford-based van made an immediate impression, for its smart and stylish combination of sleek Chrome Blue exterior and generously appointed interior.

Specifically noted for the adaptable pop top roof which provides plenty of additional headroom, the B64 offers accommodation for up to four individuals, inclusive of four belted travel seats. The van’s front lounge converts into either a double or twin single beds, which are complemented by an additional double housed in the pop-top (though this is not usable when the lower double is in use).

With a whole host of additional features and facilities which increase the Bailey Endeavour’s appeal above the norm for 2024, this pop-topped campervan is a seriously impressive addition to the leisure vehicle landscape.

 

Category: Best five or six berth coachbuilt motorhome
Vehicle: Roller Team Auto-Roller 707

Noted by the award panel in the category focusing on motorhomes with an increased number of berths, the six-sleeping low profile Roller Team Auto Roller 707 is designed to support family life on the road. With a large social space up front for sharing mealtimes, and a combination of fixed and fold-away beds, the Roller Team Auto Roller 707 offers great functionality without compromising on comfort and the offer of a homely environment.

With monochrome grey and warm cream tones in the soft furnishings , and modern finishes throughout, the 707 has an abundance of crisp sophistication, without overwhelming. The beds are generously sized and comfortable so will offer everyone a decent night’s sleep. The configuration includes two rear singles bunks, a double bed which converts from the dinette bench seating at the front, plus an electric drop-down bed over the social space. With this multiple capability, the 707 is one of the best Roller Team motorhomes for sale these days. The perfect coachbuilt motorhome for slightly larger families, or groups of friends who are travelling together.

 

Category: Judges' Special Award
Vehicle: Auto Trail Expedition 68

Offering something very special in this special category, the Auto-Trail Expedition 68 is the first dedicated campervan for cyclists. This compact camper offers four travel seats and two berths with, more importantly for cyclists, slide-out trays in a rear boot which is located beneath the rear double bed. These allow convenient and secure transport of two wheelers and other equipment.

Available with a pop-top roof upgrade which will maximise the available headroom, the Auto-Trail Expedition 68 is a well-kitted camper with kitchen area and washroom featuring shower and toilet, built for adventurers who take their passion seriously and need a solid and reliable base. The Auto-Trail Expedition 68 is one of the best Auto Trail campervans, understandably impressing the panel of judges at the Caravan And Motorhome Club Design Awards with its combination of high practicality and thoughtful comfort, enabling cyclists and outdoor types to truly make the most of their travels.

Each year there are many vehicles released to market which are notable and, in fact, worth shouting about. Here at Continental we pride ourselves on curating a consistently excellent stock, offering terrific choice to those looking to get out on the road or those who’ve already been out there but want to upgrade their vehicle.
