This informative and entertaining book captures the atmosphere and
essence of caravanning and motoring in the 1970s. In an era of high
oil prices, industrial unrest and when the shine of the 1960s
seemed to be fading, caravanning was an ideal solution for those
who chose to holiday in the UK and abroad without breaking the
bank. Drawing on his unique knowledge of caravans, Andrew Jenkinson
not only describes the typical caravan holiday of the 1970s, he
also includes fascinating detail about the different types and
makes of caravan, including Swift and others, as well as the
bestselling cars that towed them - from the Sunbeam Rapier to the
Ford Capri. The book also discusses essential 1970s caravanning
equipment, including portable TVs, stereo tape players, push-button
radios, barbeques and portable fridges. The author shows how
comparatively easy caravanning was in the 1970s compared with the
present, including ease of access to the countryside and even the
beach. Caravan sites also developed to provide ever more lavish
facilities. Accompanied by period photographs of both 1970s
caravans and cars, and drawing on the author's unrivalled
expertise, this book is an informative and enjoyable guide to
caravanning in the 1970s.
