Hi All,
When I was around 15, in 1962 or so, my father bought a big ply van.
It supposedly had won the custom built caravan of the year at the Sydney Caravan Show in 1959.
Now I dont know if any of that is true, but I still can picture the externals, & some of the internals.
It was so heavy that Dads FC couldnt do much with it. It was supposedly built on an International truck chassis.
The front upper half of the roof hinged down like an old pram, to give an open air eating area.
Dad isn't around any more , & he never kept any pictures of anything he had. I'd love to see something I could show my mum before she isnt here either. Her memory isnt real good relating to this van.
The van supposedly ended up in Deepwater NSW, but I havent seen it since around 1965.
