Scottish Motor Museum Trust
Motoring Heritage Centre

The late 1920s marked the start of leisure motoring in Scotland. One way to enjoy the beautiful Scottish countryside was by caravan. Caravans were usually hired out by the week - Dan Thomson's Trailer Caravans of Falkirk being the most popular.

Hire prices ranged from £2-10/- (£2.50) per week, with purchase prices from £65. Advertising claimed that Thomson Trailers were so light that there was little extra to be spent during a tour on petrol or oil, and that they could be pulled by a seven-horse-power car. Thomson's fitted the trailer bar to the car. This caravan has been dated to 1931, and the ornate scrolls over the end window and door have identified it as a Thomson. It has always been kept in Scotland, being relegated for use as a garden shed after the Second World War. It was restored in 1982.
