Caravan Building (Home Beautiful) - Part 1: Building a Trailer Caravan
Hi all,
Over the last couple of weeks I have been having a fascinating conversation by email with forum member POC, regarding his family's caravanning history, which is quite extensive and dates back to the 30's. Both his father and his maternal grandfather were into caravanning in a big way, and he is going to tell us a bit about their involvement as he has the time.
POC has provided me with scans of a Australian Home Beautiful caravan building magazine belonging to his father that he thought would be of general interest, but also may be of interest to someone who wants to build an older style caravan from scratch - and I know there are a couple of people on the forum who have that in mind. The magazine is undated, but is almost certainly from the late 1930's.
This first post contains the plans for building a 'trailer caravan' - what we would just call a caravan. A second post will contain the plans for building a caravanette.
I will leave POC to tell you a bit more about the magazine, and its history.
