Hi Atog, I am a new member, I joined because I have fallen in love. I am in love with an olympic caravan. From a bit of research i have done it is just over 16 feet and has a double front window with no front awning thingie, I am thinking it would be around 1964-68. I have a couple of questions before I take the plunge and bring her home. The floor is quite spongy near the wardrobe, is that normal? Also the cupboards are all worn around the edges. Body looks in good order, has all new electrics, breaks and suspension. It has a cracked front window and a little water damage inside near the doors. What seems to be the going rate for something like this? My heart is ruling right now but my head (ie the other half) is telling me to be cautious. We have wanted a van for so long and looked at so many with absolutely NO character. I would appreciate any advice you could offer at all.
Cheers
Christie

Hi Christie, my wife and i recently bought a 68 Olympic Riviera and we are over the moon, i'm not much of a handyman but with the help and information in this forum and people in the Olympic family i have had no problem fixing our van up. Our floor is spongy near robes this apparently is common but not bad. Good luck and hope the heart rules

Hi Christie Well it sounds like you have been bitten by the vintage caravan bug. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Have sent you a PM regarding the van. Have a look through some of this sites for sale section and you may also get an idea of prices. As always condition of the vans vary widely and so that is a big influence on the price. Hopefully your love for the Olympic will make you both very happy ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D If you find it not the van you are looking for contact Boblor on this site. He regularly gets people telling him of Olympics for sale. That is how I got mine in 2007. Cheers Atog PS This is the van I was referring to in the PM..... I think cgi.ebay.com.au/OLYMPIC-FIBERGLASS-CARAVAN-/330469771000?pt=AU_Caravans_RVs&hash=item4cf18886f8It may still be available. |
