![Caravans were originally towed by horses, but after World War I, a Birmingham father-and-son team - both named Bill Riley - 'saw the future of caravanning with cars'. The book says: 'Riley Junior had towed trailers in the conflict [World War I] and convinced his father to go ahead with a trailer caravan, so the pair worked hard designing a primitive version.' Under the brand name 'Eccles', they built trailer and motor caravans from aluminium and wood, with steel used for the frame of the caravan. The above image is a 'rare clear image' of the Rileys’ first trailer car-pulled caravan in 1919. According to Jenkinson, 'it was the beginning of the modern tourer of today'](https://wstpost.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/56606267-10715255-Caravans_were_originally_towed_by_horses_but_after_World_War_I_a-a-98_1650273285613-390x220.jpg)
