Hi, well I am very happy because my wife has great eyes and spotted this in a back yard in a country town in South West Victoria. On making some enquiries with the owner, he agreed to part company with it (a bit of gentle persuasion helped lol). We are now the proud owners of this treasure and can't wait to put our touch on it. It towed home perfect and now the fun begins. It is very solid with few problems. Any feed back to what year it maybe would be welcome, Regards Sue and Ian

Hi Sue and Ian,
what a great little van.
Judging by the door,power points ,windows and some fittings,it looks like an early 70s homebuilt from "Culberts build a caravan book"
Another forum member has one that is nearly identical except for the cupboard doors and main door,just cant remember their name at present.
hope this is of some help for you,
cheers

Really nice little van around 10'?? My guess is its mid to early 60s I reckon the door has been replaced at sometime bit fittings suggest round then ?
Very luck and desirable shape van Well done!!!

Hi, thank you for your feedback, hughdeani I have had a look at the Culbert Cruiser 10 and it is a dead ringer, so thanks for the heads up really appreciate it. We have already started cleaning, repairing etc. and are enjoying the challenge. It looks very bare inside now because we have stripped everything out. Hope to have it all done by Christmas, thanks again to all for the feed back it is much needed and appreciated, Sue and Ian

How nice to see that there is another one out there. Andy and I are currently on holidays in our 'Mildred'.
I would love to see what you have done to your van. We love our one.
