A couple of Older Vans in NZ

[1954homemade]

Hi all,

For those of you that have been to New Zealand you will know that there seems to be caravans everywhere, but they are mainly of the newer variety.

Whilst touring around the North Island recently I did come across a couple of caravans that appear to be more of the vintage type - see below.




I also came across this cute little van being used in a lay-by on the banks of the ocean as a Sushi Van.

Have also been to NZ recently, went to the Beach Hop in Whangamata which is similer to our Wintersun. Have attached a few photos. The small bright van with sliding windows is an 8ft Jackson Cupid. A good book is available on the history of caravans in NZ it is called 'Vantastic' by Chris Hunter and published by Harper Collins. Everone who visits this sight would love it.

Greetings all

There's an NZ van at the Innot Hot Springs caravan park similar to the red stripped one in your last photo's.

Only the one I saw was bigger
Looked like it was a permanent resident there.
