The Touring Caravan Story

Over a Century of Towing

Andrew Jenkinson
While a handful of ‘Gentleman Gypsies’ had taken to the road in luxurious, horse-drawn accommodation in the late 1800s, it was the improved reliability of cars that prompted the more widespread adoption of caravanning. With numerous photographs, Andrew Jenkinson traces its popularity – and the increasing range of accessories and comforts – over the course of the 20th century.
