Barefoot Story

How did the idea come about? Well, after a wet weekend camping, Cathy Chamberlain decided that she wanted a stylish and cosy small caravan to take her on adventures, but with a shower, a toilet and some luxury.

It had to be compact, cool and easy to tow! It didn’t take long to realise that such a caravan did not exist, so Cathy decided to design and build one that was just right.

She quickly teamed up with Cotswolds motorcycle side car manufacturer, Watsonian Sidecars (established for over 100 years) and along with her business partners Ben Matthews and Mike Williams-Raahauge, developed arguably the world’s coolest caravan.

In order to perfect the unique Barefoot shape, the Barefoot team engaged many experts in their fields. Many of the original designers and craftsmen remain involved, offering unparalleled British manufacturing and engineering.
