Alan is quite correct. Motor caravanning started in the 1920’s and was starting to burgeon in the 1930’s. Of course, horse drawn gypsy type caravans has been about many years before.
The attached mockumentary film clip shows what was possible in 1932, about the time SD was written.

I think caravan/camping sites in the Lake District were an anathema to AR.
