Hi all, Photos of Don257's Don caravan are now attached to their post above. For those of you who may be interested, this is one of a small group of Don caravans still around with a serial in the 200's, which at this stage we think is fairly likely to have been built pre-WW II. It is has been extensively refurbished after being discovered in a very sad state, as you can see here. The photos in the post above attest to its current condition and the amount of work put into it. Don Ricardo Agent for the sellers ;D ;D ;D |

Its GREAT to know that it will be looked after byQuentin and herself at its new home at Strathdale near Bendigo.We hope youre trip went well home guys. Doug and Vicki |
