Caravanette (Teardrop) Campout

[sportsman 1]

Howdy all you Caravanette owners,

at the recent Baringhup w/e I had some discussions with a few V Vers about having a camping weekend for the Caravanette or Teardrop owners. I thought it would be great to get a group of these unique little vans together so we could share stories, ideas on layouts, features, etc on this interesting facet of Vintage Vanning.

With this in mind I thought I would put it out to see if there would be enough interest in holding such an event.

Proposed dates are arrive Thursday September 29th and leave Sunday October 2nd. (this is the Grand Final Long Weekend).

Location is still in the planning, ideas are Jamieson in the high country, Rushworth by the lake or Wilsons Prom by the beach.

If you are interested please reply here with any ideas, other venues, etc and if enough interest is shown then we will get it organised.

We'd be interested. Might be a bit cold & wet in the high country still at that time of year.

Hi Leigh, if anyone is still interested in getting away, they are welcome to come along to our Vintage Van event on the 16th-18th Sept. here at Old Dadswell Town. We have a few teardrops coming already and more are welcome. Just check out our Post on the runs forum for more info, Cheers, Jenny and Max Green.

As can be seen by the dates on the replies - nothing between Feb and June - I had shelved the idea of a teardrop only weekend due to lack of interest.

It so happens that I am now booked to have a knee replaced on the 29th September so will be out of action for a while.

Perhaps we can revisit this next year.

Cheers,

Leigh.
