Shewhomustbe.... gave me a few days off this week, as she was entertaining some of her girlfriends (all over 65 sadly), so I went to Burrum Heads just north of Hervey Bay in Booootiful Qld! Met this bloke in the caravan and asked him "How long you had the Sunliner?" "It's not a Sunliner" he replied with a scowl on his face. It actually doesn't have a name, but for registration purposed I think he called it a Roadmaster. It's about 12-13ft long. He built it himself 39 years ago from a mould he got from a friend, who had made 4 previous ones, and then stopped making them. They were built in Guilford NSW. It is in original condition, both inside and out. The inside paintwork is still highly laquered (not enough space to photograph it), with the exception of a couple of paint runs caused from using flyspray. Apparently you don't use flyspray in fibreglass vans!! Ain't it amazing what's out there in the wide world of VC's!!!!!!! Cheers Ray

Looks like it would be lucky to stretch to 12ft, got some good ideas though.....look at the size of that roof vent

Hi Caraparker From what the owner told me, there were only 4 made before this one, and they never went into production, hence, they don't have an official name, the name being created only for registration purposes. Cheers Ray
