Smallest or Tiny Caravans

[shesgotthelook]

Recently there was some discussion regarding this possible GlobeTrotter van



It is less than 10ft. I came across an American photo



And it made me wonder how many other tiny vans were made & if any still exist or if there are any documented records of vans less than 10ft.

G'day sgtl,
You might still see the Atlantic caravans that are 9ft 6ins.

I never did find out the length of John&Di's " Jellybean ", but it looks like it would squeeze in under 10ft.

You might be lucky and find a Trail-A-Home " Bantam " that just makes it at 10ft.

The Aristocrat/Aristavan from WA are about 9ft in length.

So, there's a few around that could be classed as "micro".

cheers,
Al.

Hi Everyone

I'm pretty sure my Style-Line van is 9'6", according to the advertisement that I read.

According to a list of small vans I have from an old Motor Manual the Luxory Baby comes in at 9'4", the Hawthorne Junior at 9'6" and the Sportsman at 9'3". I just need to find one to tow behind the old Vauxhall.

Great response, thanks everyone.

Hi SGTL,

Another one to add to the list - Don produced a 9 ft Cadet model in the early 60's. Unfortunately, we've never seen one in the flesh, or even a photo of one, but I assume it looks like one of the larger Cadets that's shrunk after being in the spin dryer.

PS And if anyone finds one out there, I'm first in the queue!

Hi, Jellybean is a huge 8' 4" long. It has everything we need - double bed, kitchen, fridge but from a female view not a big enough wardrobe ?. We left Brisbane on the 21st December on the Christmas tour and have just under a week left before heading home. We haven't gone stir crazy from lack of room - YET!!! Hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Year and we hope to see you on the roadside somewhere.

Hi jondi, Pleased to hear you guys had a good xmas vanning holiday. .I agree with your
statement size does not matter.
After going from 19ft DeeJay to 11ft Ethel ,you soon adapt to the smallnest .As long as you
have a bed and kitchen .I agree you certainly do need to plan packing the wardrobe bit after all us
girls have to have a variety of clothes, just in case.

cheers Sue What no kissie icons.
