Welcome to Hampshire Bygones Portafold and Ansfold folding caravan page.

Portaplas was set up so it could manufacture the Portafold after the company who were building a smaller two berth folding caravan, which was called the Mini Motel, decided they did not wish to manufacture or design a larger caravan.

This is when Henleycraft Ltd took over and produced the larger 4-5 berth caravan and it was said it took one person one minute to erect and could be towed by any car.
