Morphology

caravanner = caravan (transparent) = caravan + er

This is a regular agent noun built from the verb 'caravan' plus '-er', so the meaning is straightforward.

Etymology

Caravanner comes from caravan + -er, and caravan first meant a 'group of travellers' who moved together over long distances. So a caravanner is someone who lives in or travels with a caravan, like being part of a travelling group.
