RIP John Wickersham

[Trooper]

Direct quote

Caravan magazine is very sad to report the death of our long-time contributor, John Wickersham. JW was the ultimate caravanning guru, writing numerous manuals and guides (11 in total), and contributing to all of the UK's best caravanning publications. In a 'former life' John was a university sports lecturer, which might explain why he was always so impressively (and annoyingly!) fit, looking like a fifty-something when in fact he was 73!
John used caravans and motorhomes to embrace his love of the great outdoors, particularly through canoeing and climbing, and wrote with great accuracy and immense credibility about the technical side of our wonderful hobby.
He leaves a wife Carole, four children and 10 grand-children. RIP.


Our sympathies to his family - a sad loss.

My thoughts to Johns family at this sad and difficult time. Must be especially hard for them at this time of the year.

Always full of enthusiasm and helpful information which along with his vast knowledge of the industry he thankfully very often delivered it in layman's terms.

Above all John was a real gent..

This is a big loss to the caravan world. He wrote in way that everyone could understand. I think the Caravan channel and the Motorhome channel will be a lot worse off without him, he was the best presenter on them.
Our thoughts are with his family.

Rest in peace John, the world of both Caravanning and Motorhoming have lost a Legend and a total enthusiast.

I am sure that all our thoughts are with his family at this time.
