I don't think it is as old as the seller suggests.

I can't find any caravan from the 30's that has multiple curves in the panelling like the rounded corners on this one.

I would suggest 1940's.

Hi;

This type of van is in the pre war American shape, this was used over here post war by the likes of Pilot,and Rollalong, who made caravans for 'showfolk'and caravaners, this shape of van is also know as 'Pan Loaf' And i would say this van dates from the 1950s
