Has any other brand ever had a debut like this in the UK? Polish campervan company, Globe-Traveller, showed its vehicles to the UK public for the very first time at the Motorhome and Caravan Show in October and, on day two of that exhibition, it not only took the honours as Best Fixed Bed Campervan but also the overall Campervan of the Year 2023 title.
