The trailer which doubles as a family home for the current owners is due to sell at auction and is estimated to reach £500,000. The two-bedroom, refrigerated trailer was bought 11 years ago for £1,000.

The couple, based in King’s Lynn, , make their living supplying tents but now hope the sale will allow them to buy a conventional home for their four children.
