One of the earliest home made caravans that not only is in existence but, is also road registered and able to be used for its intended purpose is this one made by Ernest Walter Barlow in 1933/34 in the yard beside his house at No. 5 Mark St Lidcombe NSW. Mr. Barlow was a skilled furniture maker and made the caravan for use by himself, his wife and two children, so the caravan has sleeping accommodation for four people. One of the earliest photos we have of the van shows Walter’s wife and two children.  The two beds for the adults..  The bunks set up for the two children.  The external appearance as she is after restoration.   To see the thread about her recovery and restoration click HERECobber. |
