This homemade van and 1930 Ford turned up at Goldwire WA yesterday. On the big loop from Bunbury. Can travel at top speed of 70km ph. All tyres etc have to come in from the States.
Now there's a head-turner! Looks like he's getting a bit of sponsorship from Ford as well.

Ah !!! That would be great, ?? slow traveling But . if something breaks you only need a spanner, screwdriver, pliers, hammer, and a bit of fencing wire, and then away you go ?? And if it does not want to start next morning ?? It will be Either Spark, or Fuel, Both easy to check ?? ----- And no bloody computer to confuse things

What a fantastic setup.I bet Ford may have a little bit of sponsorship here, if not they have missed a golden marketing opportunity .
When we were working over in Kal WA a group of people who travel around different parts of the country raising money for different charities use restored old tractors (cannot just think of the brand)towing off road vans. The thing that struck me regarding their set ups was the way they heat their hot water, they had polly pipe slung across the front of the radiators on the tractors. Most of these people are retired farmers from around Dongara area WA...Also there is a beaut pic of a home made caravan made from a tandem car trailer on the vintage caravan site....Well worth a peep just to see how some people have over come the over priced RV industry.

Air con = convertable - just roll back the roof. He does carry the crank handle under the seat just in case. Back of teardrop opens to the kitchen complete with microwave, the bed is separate through side door.

I'll bet they are not short of conversation each evening where they stop.
Beautiful examples of both caravan and car.

Actually it is a single bloke - 50s maybe. Has a sign on the back - 'looking for a meaningful overnight relationship'
Thanks for sharing Spida, love his "invitation"....
