The Mirror Trailer tent of ca.1968 was designed and developed by Mr Barry Bucknell for the Daily Mirror, and was featured on TV. The tent had to be light enough for a Mini to tow. It had to set up quickly for overnight stops, yet be large enough for a family to live in for a fortnight or more. This was not just a tent on wheels, it was a real holiday home.
