Wooden caravans

Hi Roderick,forgot to answer your question re-the yellow van ....yes,it has cupboards,stove and sink across the front, as well as a water tank under the floor at the front. I suspect the intention was to bias the weight towards the front , if so ,it worked.....it certainly was front heavy , cheers, Col.

Col it was not aimed at you. The people it was aimed at got the message load and clear.

Yes please for more. I too have more, but not until January. A further question: your teardrop has a right-hand door. Is that because it has left and right? One of the other photos posted has that feature. Was it imported?
Below is a photo from one of the 'Haulin the Hume' threads, from a different member.
Posting just the link works; getting it to show here is trickier.

My Balmoral (we think) which I am restoring...



Its a 1967 - bought it to drag behind the '66 HD Premier X2 for car shows and overnighters....

But now there is a Bedford TD in the family it might get dragged behind that if the TD becomes 'dual purpose' as a car carrier for the race car...

...i've got an old Franklin that looks a bit like that CanAm....great thread Rodders, by the way....

I saw this little beauty on Magnetic Island about 12 months ago 'Sportsman'

Interestingly, the Sportsman has a door on each side.
Perhaps that helps with ventilation on a hot night?

I did have one more scan ready to roll, so have it now. This is a plan out of a Keith Winser book, c1960. He strung together a lot of material collected from trade and other publications.
