The retro caravan craze continues at an ever-increasing rate with more wonderful restorations hitting the road every year and younger families now joining the movement. Caravans from the 1920s to the 1980s are being restored and used to recapture the long hazy days of summer that many of us remember so well. Don and Marilyn Jessen have hit the road again to discover more caravan collections and highlight some of the local history behind these wonderful vehicles and their enduring appeal.
