Zestline Caravan

[kynastonlodge]

Hi There,
I just thought I would share with you some pictures of the 1969 Zestline Carapark van my Mum and Dad owned when I was a kid
We spent many weekends at the Milang and Goolwa caravan park in South Australia. My Dad towed it with his Chrysler Valiant. Dad sold it to update but I feel this old van had charactor. Dad replaced the walls with wood grain ply and put a set of bunk beds in the back which folded down to a chair.
It would be nice to find another van like this to keep or do up one day so I could share some of the fun I had with my son.
I was only 5 or 6 years old but remember it well. Thats me sitting on my sisters lap.

G'day Andrew,

Thanks for sharing the photos of your parents' van and your memories of your family holidays. Caravan holidays are a pretty special part of my childhood memories as well.

The Zestlines certainly had a style all of their own. Most of the ones shown on the forum seem to have been unpainted aluminium, although there are one or two which were painted or otherwise tinted. Do you know if it was the later models which were painted?
