Ezy-Van folding caravan listed on Gumtree in May 2023:.png) _D.png) _E.png) _B.png)
The van was described by the seller as follows:
"Light Weight Folding Caravan well insulated with Annex, Electric Brakes, 240/12volt power, Dual power Fridge, Sink, 3 Burner LPG stove top, Spare Wheel, Cranked jockey wheel, Connection for 12v auxilliary battery charging, Battery charger, 9kg LPG Bottle, Tows very well,"
The caravan looks very similar in concept to a Propert folding caravan, and may be home built. I can find no other reference to Ezy-Van. It looks as if the galley area has been updated with modern modular furniture and fittings.

Many years ago I tried to interest a carpenter friend, who was having a really slow time of it for work, to build a Propert copy as any patents had expired. We got as far as making templates of the walls, but he lost interest in doing this. More's the pity as that year a friend was using Rubik's Kube as a prop for his business at the Brisbane caravan and camping show and many customers were asking if they were in production. He threw prices of between $17,000 and $21,000 and nobody flinched (this was around 2005). I think there is a place for a lookalike Propert because of the benefit of being able to stand in them and the ease of set-up. I would think some type of insulated composite panel construction would be the go!
