The Addition Caravan Storage Box - A Brief History

How was the ADDITION Caravan Storage Box designed?

Designed in 2001 by Ray Parker, now 80 years old (retired)

Ray Parker is an engineer with a lifetime of design and engineering experience working at Flexiform (Asgard's Parent Company) since a teenager.

Ray is a lifetime caravaner with his own static caravan in Bridlington. The Caravan storage concept/ market was effectively created by Ray Parker, as way back in 2001, Ray recognised the need for on-site, all-year-round storage for his fellow static homeowners.

Ray designed the ADDITION Caravan Storage unit specifically to fit under the window of his static caravan, providing discreet, year-round, secure storage for caravan owners.

Over the last 25 years, the ADDITION has been copied by many other companies, both UK-based and overseas. Despite their look-alike design, they are almost exact visual copies. We have yet to see the quality and finesse of Ray's original design, combining a 100% home-grown concept with 100% British manufacturing, featuring heavy-duty steel construction (the copies are imported thin steel) with Asgard's galvanized weatherproof finish, and stainless-steel hinges. Asgard only uses locally/UK-sourced materials and fixings.

The Asgard Addition - 25 Years Old!

Now over 25 years old, the ADDITION storage unit is still 100% produced by Asgard and used nationwide by caravan parks, 1000’s of customers, and even professional Team GB Athletes. The Addition was a groundbreaking piece of design and still looks good today. We have Additions still out there from 2001, looking as good as new, with the same locks, hinges, and panels from day 1. We have not really changed from the original design; it was so good. In the last few years, we upgraded the hinges to stainless steel for extra longevity, and over the years, we have varied the paint texture a little, as we are always conscious of our environmental impact, so we will always keep an eye on emissions and work with our suppliers to ensure we only use the cleanest materials in our manufacturing plant.
