The Conway and Pennine range of folding campers, convertible caravans and a folding caravan for 2012 will include the following models:
Conway Countryman 2012 (2/4 berth) - Convertible Caravan
Conway Countryman DL 2012 (2/4 berth) - Convertible Caravan
Conway Crusader DL 2012 (4/6 berth) - Convertible Caravan

Compact Caravan by Pennine, soon to be launched (more info)
This new concept from Pennine is a folding compact caravan soon to be launched as the Pennine Artemis with an estimated price guide of around £15000. The Pennine Artemis will benefit from the following features:
-
Safer to tow - the Pennine Artemis will far lower than a standard caravan with its folding walls. - Easier to store - the Pennine Artemis will not block your view at home when store outside, the Artemis could even be stored in a garage or under car port.
- Cheaper tolls on European roads - due to the low height of the Pennine Artemis you will not have to pay the same toll charges as a normal caravan.
- Improved fuel economy - the Pennine Artemis will benefit from less towing resistance.
- Lighter weight (resulting in smaller towing vehicle) - You don't need a 4x4 to tow the Pennine Artemis.
A new convertible caravan by Conway for 2012, the Conway Countryman DL

The Pennine Quartz 6 on test in the Camping and Caravanning Club Magazine
In the November 2010 issue of the Camping and Caravanning Club magazine you can see the new Pennine Quartz 6 on test:
'A two-week tour is a tough test for any unit, but would a folding camper stand up to IAIN GEDDES’ choice of four campsites? He put the Pennine Quartz 6 through its paces - Having previously tested Pennine folding campers, including the Conway Cruiser convertible caravan last year, I already knew they’re easy to tow, quick and easy to pitch and generally give a superb night’s sleep. I asked a little more of this Quartz 6 this time and I rarely found it wanting. Our family tour involved a spell at a Temporary Holiday Site so we could take in the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. We then moved on to the National Feast of Lanterns at Balado Park near Kinross. We followed this with a stay at the recently refurbished Club Site at Scone and made a final one-night stop at Tebay Services in Cumbria as we headed back south. All these place were very different, with varying levels of on-site facilities, but the Quartz 6 did not fail us'.

The Conway range (Countryman, Cruiser and Crusader) will remain for the 2011 with just a few updates and shall continue to use the Isabella Isacryl fabric. The introduction of the all new 'Convertible Caravan' concept brings many benefits, these are - cabin and awning are manufactured by Isabella, all weather synthetic fabric, resistant to mildew, resistant to fading, improved heat retention, easier to clean, will not absorb water and easier to dry out . With regards to the Pennine range of folding campers for 2011, this will have the most change as this range will move towards the Isabella synthetic fabric known as Isatex which appears to be taking the fabric now used on the Conway's range a stage further. The models for 2011 for the Pennine Range (formerly known as Pennine Folding Campers) will know be branded as the 'Pennine Premier Convertible Caravan Range' and the models will be the Quartz 2+2 a 2 berth model similar to a Countryman/Fiesta style, Quartz 4 based on a Pullman chassis with a completely different layout and the Quartz 6 will be based on the Crusader Deluxe from last year.
