A lack of use, results in offering this rare 1956 Don for sale.
The following have been carried out -:
* new axle fitted with 10" Dexter electric brakes
* new 15 amp power inlet fitted

I have owned the Don for 6 years and during that time she has always been garaged and on blocks, when not in use.
She tows beautifully

Hi redmr2red,
If you don't have any luck, I have 4 you can have for free.
A neighbour of a friend had some but threw them out after cutting them up on the table saw.
My friend gave them to me and I have made these 4 ..... using all the various off cuts, that he had kept
I'll take some photos if you like, let me know.
All yours to collect from Rye
Winterwood - Max

Hi Ron,
I've tried several times to download the photos you requested via photo bucket. Unfortunately I'm having problems with Photo bucket.
Will keep trying. We might have more success if you send me a PM with your email address.
Regards
Max

Hi Ron, Back in Melb for a day and can now post the tail light photos you wanted. My understanding from the previous owner, is that the "round" lights are the original. However when everything was stripped off for the repaint, the amber glass was lost. The "rectangular" lights were then fitted. Whilst they work 100%, they are not quite "on the money". I'll post the remaining photos of the metal mould, asap. Regards Max

Hi Ron,
Tail lights are not original, fitted by previous owner, will take some photos and post on the Forum.
Will also take some photos of the metal mould for you.
When we get back to Melb, I'll also post more photos of the 150, which you may not have seen before.
Cheers
Max

An upcoming potential purchase of another Van, means a reluctant sale of my rare Don 150. Believed by some on the Forum, to be the only known one of its type in Australia, means a wonderful example of Vintage Caravan history is for sale. The Don was built in 1956, and the Australian Motor Manual of 15th June 1956, says the following; "Round-edged corners give that extra something. The seven opening windows are of chrome plated brass. The interior decor of this new "Don" has a pleasing effect as one steps int the van. The one we inspected was designed by Miss Beryl Hutchinson, house interior specialist. She chose grey and sky blue as the main theme, using grey walls, furniture, bench tops, the ceiling is sky blue with deep blue for tapestry covers and carpet. The window curtains are of red and white stripe glazed chintz, also on the dividing drapes. The bath is placed under one of the single beds; this can be used for additional storage". The previous owner has advised the following have been carried out -: * new axle fitted * with 10" Dexter electric brakes * new tyres fitted * existing ball mount removed (but still available) * new 2000kg coupling bolted to new plate * two new safety chains fitted * all gas lines to fridge and stove replaced where need to meet NSW certification regulations * new 15 amp power inlet fitted * PCB main circuit breaker fitted * Primer undercoat, two undercoats, finished with 2 coats of oil based enamel in original colours * and more I have owned the Don for 3 and a bit years and during that time she has always been fully garaged and on blocks. She tows beautifully and we have used her for 4-5 times for Vintage Van outings etc. There is an awning included, but it is not an original. Her overall condition, to the best of my knowledge, would be 8-9 out of 10 Cal me if you need more photos/information etc Garaged on Mornington Peninsula (Vic) If you have any questions, my number is 0417 319 570 Max (Winterwood)

Jan & I are booked in for 5 nights from April 1.
I missed Broken Hill 2 years ago owing to a tragic and fatal car accident involving a very close friend, which happened on my way up to B H.
Drive safely everyone.

Getting very close to the end for Adam. A couple of quotes from Adam that accompanied his photos. "All I need to do is fit the upholstery and that should be the final chapter and retirement from caravan restoration." "The upholstery is going to be a beige colour with black stitching and the Don badge embroided into the backrest in silver. I'll try and bring it to show you when I have holidays in Jan. Thanks for selling it to me, it's been a pleasure." Max
