Caravans are nearly as old as time. The caravan bearing travelers across long distances were the principle means of conducting trade, exploring the unknown, and re-settling over land on all continents. People traveled in groups for protection, to provide back-up in case of emergency, and to carry all the supplies necessary to complete their missions. The modern recreational caravan trailer can be traced back to the 1920s when the first metal recreational travel trailers appeared. These early travelers were often called "tin can tourists." Today many caravan groups are dedicated to the use of the big "airstream" travel trailers.

The vehicles that haul travel trailers and the SUV's that serve as homes for many caravanning travelers are mechanically vulnerable. Motoring organizations, also called "The Clubs," were formed early in the 20th century to provide towing services and emergency repairs to stranded caravanners. Travelers who take membership in the clubs are entitled to emergency road services. In the late 1960s road recovery companies began providing "get you home" services for caravanners with mechanical problems or who have suffered road accidents. Since the 1950s, emergency road recovery services have been dispatched by radio. Road recovery service, van recovery Manchester, and vehicle recovery Manchester providers often form alliances with emergency services like police and fire departments in various communities.

The motor-homes and vehicles used by caravanners are expensive investments that serve an important part of the lives of true caravanners. In many ways, caravanners are like yachters. Their vehicles, trailers and equipment are an important part of their life styles, but they are specialized vehicles, not used all year, but entirely for seasonal recreational travel. The vehicles may be too bulky and uneconomical to use in ordinary daily life. There are many caravanners among the nearly 3 million people in greater Manchester. Large scale caravan storage Manchester, motor home storage Manchester, and vehicle storage Manchester serve the special needs of caravanners with large scale heated and secure warehouse facilities.
