Todds Motorhomes

How it all began:

In 1966, my Mum and dad; Edna & David Todd, opened a Garden Centre in the village of Bamber Bridge. Because of the nature of the business it was difficult to get away on holiday for long periods of time, so Dad built and designed his very own 'motorhome'. This enabled the Todd family to get away for short holidays as and whenever the business allowed.

Dad had bought an ex RAF Morris J2 Van which he used to carry plants and gardening materials around during business hours but when required as a holiday home (after being thoroughly cleaned by my Mum), Dad geniusly designed and built all the furniture to easily slide in and out of the vehicle. All the cupboards, kitchen unit, bench seats which converted to beds, all clipped into place within the vehicle then curtains and mattresses were finally added. Turning a working van into a holiday home.
