In my archive collection, I have an advertisement from March 1955 showing Goodtime Caravans as a Sales and Hire outlet. In the same advertisement they also mentioned "Tow bars, Spare parts, Box trailers, etc". The address at that time was 177 Russell Ave., Dolls Point [which is not that far from the later address in Rockdale].
So it seems that Goodtime Caravans were around for a few years at least. I can't go back any earlier than 1955, but it looks like they were alive and kicking before that.
cheers,
Al.
