The Touring Caravan Story

En savoir plus sur le livre

This is the story of the modern touring caravan in the UK, from its origins in the 1919, and how it became a rich man’s pastime through the 1920s, to how it found its way to the middle classes by the 1930s. Post-war, there was a manufacturing boom, and caravan usage surged, sites progressed, and caravan clubs flourished. There was even a short-lived British caravan road rallying event, where many caravans ended up smashed to pieces! Also including a look at accessories and add-ons, from tow bars to awnings, and featuring many memories from caravanners looking back over many joyful holidays, this heavily illustrated book is a nostalgic treat for the touring caravan community.
