In 2008, Milenco’s Aero Towing Mirrors were named Practical Caravan Best Accessory, setting a new benchmark for add-on towing mirrors. The award recognised what tow-car drivers value most on real roads: a clear, wide rearward view that stays remarkably stable at speed, even in crosswinds and when passing large vehicles. The Aero’s low-profile clamps grip securely without marking modern mirror housings, and the tool-free fit means you can attach or remove a pair in moments before setting off. A smooth ball-joint head gives precise, fingertip adjustment, so you can dial in the angle for lanes, overtakes and reversing, then trust it to hold position mile after mile.

In 2009, Milenco’s Aero Towing Mirrors were recognised again as Practical Caravan Best Accessory, confirming the design as a tow-car favourite. Drivers valued the clear, stable rearward view with minimal vibration, plus the quick, tool-free fit to most factory mirrors. Non-marking clamps protect finishes, wind noise stays low, and the ball-joint heads make fine adjustment easy for overtakes and reversing. Built from tough, weather-resistant materials, the mirrors handle year-round use and detach in seconds—proof that Aero delivers reliable visibility and broad compatibility trip after trip.

In 2014, the MGI Giant Plastic Step took Practical Caravan’s Tourer of the Year – Best Accessory thanks to its mix of safety and simplicity. The extra-wide, non-slip tread gives confident footing in wet or dry conditions, while the large, stable footprint resists rocking or sinking on soft pitches. Made from a one-piece, UV-stable polymer, it’s light to carry yet tough enough for everyday campsite use. The open tread pattern sheds mud and water, so it stays grippy and cleans easily with a quick rinse. Rounded edges are kind to awning skirts and lockers, and the low rise makes stepping in and out safer for all ages. Practical, durable, and fuss-free, the Giant Step became the go-to way to improve caravan access.

In 2022, the Practical Motorhome Awards named the Milenco BC Lock Best Motorhome Gadget, recognising how it blends serious physical security with touring-friendly simplicity. The BC Lock is a highly visible deterrent that instantly signals “do not touch,” backed up by a tough, tamper-resistant construction engineered for repeated real-world use. There’s no wiring, no pairing and no battery to remember—you simply fit it when you park and remove it when you’re ready to roll. The action is quick and positive, so you’re not stood on the pitch wrestling with tools, and the compact form factor means it stows neatly when you’re on the move. What sets it apart is how well it fits the rhythm of motorhome life. Whether you’re pulling into a service area, settling on a campsite, or leaving the vehicle at home between trips, the BC Lock delivers instant, portable immobilisation that’s easy to use every day, not just “when you can be bothered.” The bright, high-contrast finish acts as a first-line deterrent, while the solid, weather-resistant body is built to shrug off the elements. Add in broad vehicle compatibility and the confidence of a proven brand in leisure security, and it’s clear why judges—and motorhome owners—rated the BC Lock the standout gadget of the year.

Milenco wheelclamps have remained undefeated in Practical Caravan’s “attack tests” since 1999, a record built on real security rather than slogans. Across multiple group tests and revisits, reviewers have tried to force removal with aggressive tool attacks and defeat techniques, yet Milenco’s clamps continue to resist—earning regular “Best Buy” commendations across the caravan press. The formula is simple but effective: high-visibility deterrence, hardened construction, protected lock mechanisms, and clamp geometry that locks wheel and tyre together to deny leverage. Equally important, they’re quick to fit, reassuringly solid in use, and built for year-round weather, so you’re more likely to use them every time you park. Put together, that combination of day-to-day usability and credible, test-proven protection is why Milenco’s wheelclamps remain a benchmark recommendation—decade after decade.
