As the title suggests - can't seem to find the list of tow cars which have been reviewed by club members surprised

Anyone know where to look on the club web site please?

    I don't think such a list exists, Dave.

    What you may find by searching around is the results of Tow Car Of The Year when the write ups, such as they are, are done by the judging panel.

    There's a thread running in this section just down the page with a link to TCOY.

    Sorry but the link refuses to copy and paste.

    I agree there is no actual list of reviews by members. There are reviews by the club in it's magazine, or you try youtube and look at the ones done by Practical Caravan or the CCC

    If  my  memory  serves  me  correctly,  the  vehicles  in  Tow Car o t Year  only  qualify  for  entry  if  they  have  had  a  new  version  or  significant  upgrade / modification  of  an  older  one. 

    So  something  that  wins  by  a  country  mile  this  year  and  is  kept  on  sale  but  unmodified  won't  be  entered  next  year.

    That  is  how  it  used  to  be  and  I  think  it  still  is.

    Google is your friend. Just include towing in your search and any reviews will pop up.

    I agree and feel it is a serious failing of the present system for those unaware of how it is played.

    What would be exceedingly valuable at least to those on more limited budgets is a review some 3 to 4 years down the line on how well these "winners" really faired in their towing, reliability, cost to own and general living with roles. I suppose this would need to be forum based to seek out the owners rather than a revisit by the media pundits.

    Back on question I suggest searching through the few caravan related forums and see if there is a pattern of opinion as opposed to simply being a platform use to vent a grievance.

    As said practical caravan would be my choice everytime via utube.

    CT forum also has owner reviews but i don't value they content, its rare to see anything criticised.
