James RichardsJames Richards

James Richards is our lead contributor here at PodCaravans. He is a man of many hobbies. He loves to read, hike, and go on trips with his family just as much as he loves caravanning. He knows a lot about caravanning equipment, and can help you out with anything you might need to know for your next camping trip. A fan of the outdoors from an early age, James bought a small camper van as soon as he could afford it - and began using it whenever possible. After many camping road trips around the South of England, James decided that it was too small for his needs. He invested in a larger caravan, and began travelling with his family on road trips across the United Kingdom - which he still does today, a welcome distraction in the middle of the covid pandemic. Recently, James has worked as a guide for several people taking their first steps into caravanning. If you're new to caravanning, he's happy to help you learn everything you need to know about this fun hobby!
