Hi all,
Good to see that the ABC is showing an interest in vintage vans over the last week or so!
The first item published on the ABC News website on 8 January 2021 is headed "Vintage caravan renovations explode in popularity as COVID-19 restricts summer holiday travel plans" and starts off:
"They're popping up at caravan sites across the country.
"Parked alongside flashy modern rigs are a growing number of vintage caravans, with renovations that leave the sticky-beaks lining up for a look.
"As COVID-19 puts a hold on international travel plans and Australians look closer to home for their holidays, caravans have been exploding in popularity.
"But vintage vans — in original or renovated condition — are in particularly high demand, with many snapped up within hours of going on the market.
"Some renovated vintage caravans are being sold for close to $20,000 and on Facebook pages van owners share renovation tips and plan meet ups at caravan parks across the country."
You can read the rest and see the pics here
The second item was a radio chat segment called "Our favourite caravan holiday memories" on ABC Overnights last Monday, 4 January 2021 involving program host Michael Pavlich and some vintage caravan aficionado. You can find a link to the audio here.
See, it is 'OUR ABC'!
