G'day All, a few photos to show a sample of the vans here. I discovered my phone can do panorama shots, so these are my first attempts...    cheers, Al. |

Another one. Trying to get the photos resized so they don't take forever to show on your device...  |

Two things that have surprised me at these Nationals is that there hasn't been a teardrop, and there hasn't been a Propert. Where have they gone??

To Richard & all The organising Committee who carried out endless HOURS trying to make Stanthorpe Bi Annual get together one of the Best!!! Guess What YOU ALL SUCEEDED it was a terrific turn out for the Vintage Vans, you suceeded in arranging many activites for all of us to attend, unfortuneately my health wouldnt allow me to do as much as I would have liked, but that certainly didnt stop the rest of you, was there anywhere that didnt know that the Vintage Vans were in town.? Im am very sure that I speak on behalf of all those that attended, a job well done. Hope to see you all in 2 Years time.!!!! Our Best Regards Always Kel & Gai Winterbine, CoCo's parents.

Sad to see this site being supported less and less, considering the huge interest and input it has had over the years. You do realise that if Jude joined that FB forum you could see those other pics. |

Facebook has it's place but it is near impossible to go back & find something even only a few days after it has been posted. Trying to remember which group it was posted in & by whom etc is a nightmare. Facebook can also be a very unfriendly site. It is also a high risk site for identity theft & scams.
I am truly grateful for all the work that has been done on this forum.

SGTL - no argument from here for all the reasons you mentioned. But the social thinking has changed, influenced by the drivers of those alternative forums. As a result we risk losing much valuable history about more than caravans.

I was thinking….. there is no doubt many reasons people have chosen Facebook over the forum but I suspect one reason is that skill is required to post photos on the forum, easy to do on Facebook.
There are also many options on the forum about which ‘board’ to post photos and comments on …..confusing ☹️
Some prefer to have a site dedicated exclusively to their brand of caravan.
Please let me know, as you see it, of some of the other reasons the forum has gone to sleep.
Cobber.

As a moderator for the sister site "Classic caravans" I believe the lack of interest (lowest its ever been) is purely the inability of people's ability to host images.
eg, they post "what van is that" without an image & never come back.
Both Don Ricardo & I have tutorials to follow, which by most people's ability to handle a computer is not difficult?
Either that or its not "instant" !!!!!
I guess both forums will eventually die out as there are few (if any) younguns coming on.

Hi all, I will be the first to admit I dont post much on here but I do keep an eye on what is happening out there.
I an quite happy to post here if I feel I have something useful to add to the topic under discussion, but not very often I have anything useful to say so I keep in the background.
As you say it is not as eas to post pictures on here as it is on Facebook, if I want to put up a picture I get Richard to do it for me. (technologically challenged!)
I am not involved with any of the Facebook sites that cater for vintage caravans but I am on multiple car based sites that feed my interests.
To all that particpate on here I thank you and encourage you to keep it up.
Sportsman 1.
