I used to subscribe to Practical Caravan but found that about every two years it kept repeating what it had done in the past. So I only read C&CC magazine on a regular basis but always have a look on covers of other magazines to see if there is anything that interests me, and if so I buy it.

My Practical caravan subs have just come to an end, not sure if I will renew because it becomes too samey.  I have Caravan mag too as it is cheap through Tesco clubcard points.  It cost me about £9 for the year.

I have a subscription to Practical Caravan Magazine and have been reading it for about 4 years. It's the only one that I felt like subscribing to. I also buy Caravan Magazine most months too.

Used to read Out and About, CaravanLife and Which Caravan, but not sure if these are still published and haven't seen them for a while.

Still look forward to Practical Magazine arriving each month.

Caravan Magazine (Tesco Clubcard £9.00) and Practical Caravan ( which as a relative beginner i feel provides me with more helpful advice)

I used to buy Practical Caravan until they started "testing" screwdrivers and sink drainers. Found Caravan magazine more consistent, the technical tips seem better and I find it a better read and less patronising.The best tip is to find a fellow caravanner -we have a few in our Caravan Club centre and swap mags over when you've finished reading them - best of both worlds!

We get Practical Caravan, too, but I find that you'll read something in there one month and in the Caravan Club mag a month or two later.

I get practical Caravan, The CC mag and C&CC mag delivered, but also read caravan if I ever see it on a shelf somewhere.  Drives Mrs scarletsfan mad, but it's something to do while she watches any crime drama going on TV

Look out for the October Practical Caravan - I sent in one of those 'handy tip' ideas and they are planning to put it in that issue!

- I've seen some really dire ideas expressed in the mags over the time I've been reading them, or some suggestions soooo obvious that they barely merit mentioning.  e.g.  why not your use top lockers that don't have any internal partition between as a storage position for baguettes.  Doh!  - we would never have thought of putting them there would we?  We would all have been shoving them in the cutlery drawer, no?

Hopefully, our idea is a bit of a winner!  It involves wine glasses, so should go down well with UKCS folk.

You'll have to wait for it to appear in Practical Caravan I'm afraid!  Oh and I am 'the wife' by the way!

Caravan club and Cand CC magazines as we are members, we don't buy any others as they are all a bit tedious !
