Morphology

caravaneer = caravan (transparent) = caravan + eer

The agentive suffix '-eer' productive in English attaches to 'caravan' to mean a person associated with caravan travel or living in a caravan; the meaning is directly inferable.

Etymology

Caravaneer comes from caravan, a word for a moving group and for the vehicle people live in while travelling, and the ending -eer meaning 'a person who does or belongs to'. So a caravaneer can also mean someone who travels for leisure and lives in their caravan on holiday.
