Could the traditional British caravan holiday be about to get a makeover?

The arrival of such futuristic designs marks a sharp departure from how we have traditionally holidayed.

Horse-drawn caravans were used as mobile homes in the early 19th Century, but leisure caravanning expanded rapidly after World War One.

The first true commercial touring caravan, designed specifically to be towed by a car, was launched by Eccles Motor Transport in 1919.

Over time, toilets, showers and kitchens were added.

Yet, the internal layout established by those early models still defines most caravans on Britain’s roads and holiday parks today.

Demand grew rapidly in the post-World War Two decades, as the appetite for affordable domestic holidays surged, and dedicated holiday parks spread across coastal and rural Britain.

Their familiar design has helped make caravan holidays a mainstay of British tourism, particularly in Wales.
