A NORTH caravan expert has been brought in by TV producers to give his professional opinion on the latest models.

Matthew Kinsell, of Catterick Caravans, Brompton-on-Swale, North Yorkshire, was asked by the Discovery Home and Leisure Channel to review more than 20 touring caravans, as well as folding campers and awnings.

Mr Kinsell, of Ripon, said: "When the channel suggested our involvement in the production of this series, I was both surprised and flattered that the Discovery Channel was so keen for our involvement.

"This series alone demonstrates how popular caravanning is becoming."

The first two programmes of ten will be screened at 9pm on Wednesday, May 11.
