Last Thursday marked the fourth time that Messe Düsseldorf awarded the "caravaning design award: innovations for new mobility". 53 exhibitors submitted a total of 88 products for the competition, organised by red dot projects, on the occasion of the CARAVAN SALON DÜSSELDORF (29 August through 7 September 2008). The jury found 18 of these to be worthy of a prize, and four products were rated “caravaning design award: best practice”.
