Miss E F Hamilton's Van: A Unique 1910s Caravanning Solution for Comfort and Convenience This photograph, taken in 1914, showcases Miss E F Hamilton's ingenious van, a remarkable example of early caravanning innovation. The van, adorned with elegant wooden steps, invites us to explore the hidden comforts within. Beneath the van's rustic exterior lies a sleeping chamber designed for servants, providing them with a cozy retreat during their travels. The chamber, accessed by a ladder, offers a respite from the elements, ensuring a good night's sleep even on the road. Adding to the van's self-sufficiency, a rainwater collection system is integrated into the roof. The system, a common feature in the 1910s, allowed Miss Hamilton to gather rainwater for domestic use, further enhancing her mobile living experience. The van's sturdy construction, with its stone base and Harris tweed covering, showcases the attention to detail and craftsmanship of the era. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, revealing the ingenuity and resourcefulness of those who embraced the caravanning lifestyle during the early 20th century.
