Description

Caravanning in the 1970s is an informative and entertaining guide to the era's popular holiday activity. During this time, caravanning offered a budget-friendly alternative for UK and international holidays, despite economic challenges such as high oil prices and industrial unrest. The book delves into the world of caravan holidays, exploring the various types and makes of caravans, including Swift models, as well as the cars that towed them. It also examines essential equipment from the era, like portable TVs, stereo tape players, and barbeques. With its unique blend of history and nostalgia, this book provides a fascinating look at how comparatively easy caravanning was in the 1970s. The publication is accompanied by period photographs of both 1970s caravans and cars, showcasing the era's caravan sites with their lavish facilities.
