G'day Barndoor, The inside of that 'van is attractive aye? The outside is something like I've never seen before  .... it sort of looks as though the Cedar may have been put over something else... plywood  ..... aluminium . If you and the 'van are still in the UK why don't you show the photos to the people on this site... I think they might have a few more clues on this one than anybody down here  Cobber. |

Hi 49Barndoor. Bert Hutchings or Coventry Knight came to mind purely as they being timber clad `vans. Yours though seems much younger than their early designs. Has some interesting features like the etched glass panels,cast iron heater & sconce light fittings. Do the tail lights/wheels give you an indication of era? Looks like it has wind-down stabilisers also. Nice lay out too. cheers gordon

Hi 49Barndoor. You might try tracking down W M Whiteman, The History of the Caravan (1973 Blandford Press, ISBN 0-7137-0643-0) a highly informative book by an equally informed gentleman). cheers gordon
