During the war some caravan companies became involved in war
work carrying out vehicle conversions, repairs and modification
for the war department and other similar work. After the war materials
were scarce, as was money, the resultant caravans made were therefore
of a much utilitarian nature. Most of the lantern roofs were gone
with only a few exceptions in the more expensive models. The cheaper
caravans proved to be ideal for emergency housing creating a different
type of market more suited to mass production methods of manufacture.
