I,ve gone to the dark side,i,ve become the owner of a part fibreglass,timber and aluminium Royale caravan.It was built in england in 1969, sold to its first owners,Bert and Edna Silvers in 1970, who took it over to Brussels,then through Germany,Austria,Italy,Greese,Turkey,Iran,Afgan,India,Penang,Kuala Lumpur and then by ship to Freemantle. Total of 10962 miles in 6 months. They then drove around Australia a few times. i have their hand written record of their trip.The caravan looks like the Royale Tour Ranger in Classic caravans.http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm259/truckdaddy1/royalecaravan002.jpg
thanks for reading my rambling.

Hi Cobber,
No this is not a photo of my van, my van is sky blue and white and the interior is like knew, but no hot water or shower,it has a door each side of the van so i will put a shower cubical outside of the RH door.The independant suspension has seen better days so i will be fitting a new dropped beam axle with electric brakes and then i will change the exterior colour.

Nice one Tucky.
I assume it was repainted to match the towcar, but I think I prefer the blue.
By the way, If I was you I would put the Shower on the inside of the right hand door, not the outside!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
