Help! Heartbroken..small caravan wanted!

[kriswade49]

Hi guys

Getting a tad desperate and although I check this wonderful site every couple of days..thought I'd put the word out and hopefully I may strike it lucky..

I just missed out Friday on a gorgeous 60 bondwood that was on ebay for all of 1 day..so perfect...and I've been miserable all weekend arrggghhh. The first van I missed out on was mikey1's gason van which was advertised here end April...also perfect!

So basically, something around the 10-12 ft, preferably a bondwood but open to suggestions.. I'm based in Brisbane, willing to travel but would be great if could find a treasure locally.

Thanks in advance for keeping me in mind
Cheers
Kris

What about the 12 foot carapark at Mitchell caravans in Canberra.
Its a tidy little VV.
That 69 olympic in the for sales may be suitable as well. Bigger than 10 to 12 foot but they are relatively light I believe and may fit the bill tow weight wise depending on what towcar you have

Hi Kris,

If it's any consolation I think the Gason was a fair bit bigger than what you are looking for - probably around 15 or 16 feet from memory.

However, there's quite a nice little Millard on Ebay at the moment - 1962/63 model according to the seller. Looks pretty original if that's what you're looking for. It may be aluminium clad - the front, rear and roof appear to be - but possibly bondwood sides. You'd need to check.

Sooner or later you'll find something that is just you what you've been looking for - but it's hard waiting for it to turn up isn't it?

Hey Kris,

If the van that you mention that was on that auction site for one day, & was in Brissy somewhere, my mate bought it! He went around there, gave the owner a price & he accepted! I'll tell you now that it was one of the best bargains for a long time that I've seen. Absolutely beautiful van...........but they *are* out there, just keep looking.

I can't believe the Don Cadet didn't recieve higher bids, if I didn't have one, I'd own one now!

Adam, oohhhhh tell your mate I'll give him an extra grand today!!

I emailed the owner as soon as I saw it (10pm, thought it was a bit rude to call at that time!) and said dont sell it overnight - phoned him 8.30am in the morning and he said it'd gone... i nearly had a tantrum haha

Thanks everyone for all of their help! I bought the gorgeous little 10ft 64 Glida off sportyvan!
Yay... very happy!
