Highbridge celebrates 60th anniversary with a charity challenge roadtrip

Practical Motorhome

|

December 2025

Leisure vehicle dealers Highbridge Caravans is marking over half a century of business with an epic challenge this November, while raising money for charity. Alongside two colleagues, Devon sales manager Jody, who has worked in the motorhome industry for more than 20 years, will set off in a campervan on a journey from Land’s End to John O’Groats. The drive normally takes around 20 hours but the team will make special stops at every one of Highbridge’s UK manufacturing partners as well as both branches.

The aim is to complete the journey in under 24 hours, leaving little room for error (or coffee breaks!). As well as celebrating the company’s history and British manufacturers, the challenge is raising money for Children’s Hospice South West.

Inverter essentials

I've just read a rather sad story online of a German couple whose motorhome caught fire while they were using an air fryer via an inverter. Initially it was believed that the lithium batteries were the culprit, but I'm not sure that was the case. LiFePO4 battery chemistry, while still technically a lithium-ion variety, is much safer than the ones used for EV batteries. Many EV manufacturers are now switching to LiFePO4 because of this.
