These will bring back a few memories....remember when these combinations were the norm parked up on the Beach Front Caravan Parks...?
I apologise for being in several photos however my wife took them with her phone..she said I was larger than some of the Vans!....told her I resemble that!!
There were several dozen of these 'old timer' combinations at the Bendigo Caravan & Camping Expo yesterday..at Prince of Wales Showgrounds....
From times that were not only much simpler/less complicated, and I suggest much happier 'Family' times....50/60's.. Hoo Roo
Great days when things were far simpler. Too much unnecessary techno rubbish being used these days, we avoid it as much as possible, too many things to go wrong & create stress. Wife's parents went around Australia three times using a rig much like the blue one except that their caravan was a bit smaller. Love all the photos.

Our land abounds in Nature's gifts, of beauty rich & rare. We'll be out there enjoying it somewhere, camped by ourselves much of the time.
That old yellow Motorhome mounted on an Austin Loadstar Truck would have been a beast to drive. We had two of them back in the fifties and to change gears up or down was a work of art.
Mind you they could pull a fair load, just stay in low gear.
Someone once said to drive one it should have been an Olympic Sport.
Notice that all the old vans had curved rooves, wonder if they leaked like the vans of today with their flat rooves?
Also nostalgic to see the mention of "rooves" which they were back then. My brothers van had a curved roof coated with blackjack back then and it leaked plenty.
