A Carlight caravan is built to last; once owned, seldom do people
buy anything else.
Throughout seven decades — and one World War —
elegant shapes, innovative designs and modern materials have
created caravans that have oozed quality and style, reflecting
the tastes of the discerning traveller.
 |
During the 1930's the emphasis was on streamlined
looks — clean lines that emulated the design of
an aircraft wing... |
 |
 |
"...remember, there is no better method
of ARP than a caravan, giving also the means of a holiday
which all will need." The Wartime Caravan! |
 |
 |
The 1950's — the "feelgood"
decade, when people flocked to the seaside and countryside
— touring became a popular leisure activity. |
 |
 |
Stylish lines, cocktail cabinets, fridges
and fast cars... the swinging sixties had arrived! |
 |
 |
Plush, deep upholstery, smoked glass windows
and cocktail cabinets were the "must haves"
for the '70s Carlight... |
 |
 |
The 1980's saw the launch of the Commander
caravan, with up to 600 man hours being put into making
one caravan. |
 |
 |
"Elegance, excellence and even extravagance
are terms that have figured in a big way..." Carlight
leaves its mark on this Century. |
