The museum says that Haslam's pride is a real find. Gwilym Owen, the museum's director, says that popular British thought was the first UK travel trailer designed for a motor vehicle was built in 1915. But their 'mobile garden shed' puts a whole new light on the matter. "This puts our caravan some seven years earlier than the current histories believe," said Owen, "Which makes it a very important piece of British motoring heritage." Mr Owen said: "It's had a little bit of modernisation over the years, such as new wheels and axle from a 1930's Austin and a more modern hitch but everything else is basically the same as it was when constructed. "It's very much like a garden shed on wheels and I can imagine it was very cosy in its day, especially if you tried to fit more than one person inside it."
