I spotted this caravan in a garden in Camber Sands, East Sussex last week. But what is it? If anyone wants to make enquiries I can give directions

Hi i think what you have here is a " Paladin Trailavan " from the late 40s to mid 50s |

I am wondering about this caravan
Rollalong and Pilot (Pascall) spring to mind, the roof line does not fit with the Pascall design, shall forward to hearing its name! |

There is a very good picture of a Paladin trailavan on page 47 of the 1949 copy of the caravan Manual, you can see the roof is the same as the mystery van ,even the small round vents over the windows are the same ,Paladin used a unusual construction, this can been seen on the narrow aluminium panels on the sides, these are bolted together on a aluminium T section extrusion , Coventry Knight was the only other van makers at the time, to use a similar method of construction |
