When the man refused to let them in, they pushed past him and searched the caravan.
They took cash before leaving, making their way through gardens and out on to Avon Street.
Police say the couple were unhurt, but shaken, by the robbery.
Both robbers were white and around 5ft 10ins tall.
One was in his late 20s or early 30s and wore a beige coloured jumper.
The other man was in his mid to late 20s, of stocky build and was wearing a grey hooded top.
Anyone with information should call 101.

“Don't worry according to the news police are saying "crime as fallen" so this is probably a one off. Best wishes to the couple involved to get over their ordeal.”

“so two very brave young men, pushed past a 70 year old men entered his caravan and stole money, leaving him and his wife shaken. So what will they get if caught, community service, a slap on the wrist, we're still to soft on the low life of this country who pick on old and vunarable people.”
