WHAT'S HAPPENING?


CAMPER TRAILER OF THE YEAR JUDGES


ADJOURN TO MULL OVER THEIR NOTES


Intrigue within the camper trailer and outdoor
adventure community is at fever pitch as we all
await the judging deliberations from November’s
Camper Trailer of the Year.
Phone calls, emails and even a simple raised
and waggling set of quizzical eyebrows have
been proffered in an attempt to glean some
knowledge of where things with the judging is at.
Of course, we won’t know until all the
scoresheets and accompanying adjudication
rationale is lodged securely at Adventure HQ.
As we go to print, we expect to receive
concrete headway within the next few days.

What we can say, categorically, is that this
year’s CTOTY will be remembered for the
outstanding quality of all 25 finalists.
All four judges have said, repeatedly, this
year’s final showcase was by far the most
outstanding they can remember.
Another hot topic here at Adventures HQ, is
how the HYBRID category has gone off like a
frog in a sock. It was a fully-loaded category
spanning a large price range. It’ll be interesting
to read what the judges made of these and other
manufacturing and marketing developments.
In terms of picking a winner — we don’t envy

the judges their decision!
Also bubbling along in the background is
Adventures Group’s grand trip to the Northern
Territory. We’ve produced some awesome
narrative content that we’re hanging out to share
with you! What an awesome place the Top End
is. We’ll be ready to roll on those stories in the
March issue of the magazine, right after the two
bumper Camper Trailer of the Year issues!
In the meantime, all us here at Camper wish
youaMerryChristmasandaHappyNewYear!
