![OWNER SATISFACTION AWARDS -2024-](https://cdn.magzter.com/1346164879/1704355743/articles/vTESlVGjr1704363118398/OWNER-SATISFACTION-AWARDS-2024.jpg)
Aside from our house, a motorhome is often the largest purchase any of us will make. Top-end models can cost a six-figure sum, while those of us on more modest budgets still devote a big slice our income to our home-on-wheels. When laying out such amounts, it pays to spend wisely.
Some advice would surely be welcome. So how about the collected wisdom of 5013 motor caravanners? That's how many Practical Motorhome readers and Camping and Caravanning Club members completed our 2024 Owner Satisfaction Survey. Although a fraction down on last year's 5081, it's still a very large sample and means we have great faith in the results.
Many thanks to everyone who filled in the survey. It's certainly not the work of a moment, going into detail on every aspect of buying and ownership.
Knowledge and experience
Everyone who completes the questionnaire is helping motor caravanners make informed decisions, and we're grateful to all who shared their knowledge and experience. We believe the survey helps the industry as well as its customers, rewarding excellence and pushing for high standards.
Each campervan and motorhome is rated across a variety of categories, including value, fit and finish, the lounge/dining area, the kitchen and white goods, the beds, the washroom and more.
As in 2023, ratings range from 'excellent' through 'good' and 'acceptable', to 'poor' and 'very poor'. This really helps separate the great from the good.
But the most important question is, 'Would you buy from this manufacturer again?' Without a positive endorsement from most respondents, no motorhome builder can hope to be close to the top of the results.
