Good on you guys for not getting a huge monstrosity like other KZbinrs. We bought and renovated a 1968 poptop caravan and have been living in it for over a year and love it!
@jimoctec11 ай бұрын
We started our caravan journey in 2007 by buying a little old Viscount pop-top which we did up, just as you are planning to do. Old vans tend to be rather lighter than these days. That meant we could tow it with our early model Toyota Kluger. It did not have a bathroom or toilet. It had only a two-way fridge (only 240v or gas) and a 4 burner stove with a non-working oven. As you will find upgrading old appliances is expensive. We upgraded in 2012 to a new 18 ft van, without bathroom, at 1.8 tonne ATM which we towed with our then Prado 120. We still have that van but have replaced the 120 with a 150 Prado in 2016. We have loved the fact that it is well under the weight that too many caravans are these days. It has now completed our big lap in a couple of stages since 2016. We have mainly used caravan parks when we wanted showers and laundry facilities, or free camping at sites with toilet facilities. The advantage has always been that our non off-road van has minded our campsite while we could drive off exploring. Not something so easy to do with campervans, motorhomes, etc. I look forward to your renovations and explorations.

We renovated our 1978 14ft millard caravan, and from start to finish, it took us 2 years. We stopped in the middle because it was soooo much work. The windows took us FOREVER to restore. I think I spent around 50 hours on the windows alone. We love our caravan so much now but I would never do it again. Sending positive vibes your way and hoping you have a smooth renovation ahead.
@markellis935511 ай бұрын
I hope you've thought this through. Old vans have Timber frames. If the van has leaked it's not just the panelling that's affected. And even if it hasn't leaked inside the frame could still be rotten. Asbestos in glues and particle board. Exterior cladding is not easily repaired or replaced. Then there's the chassis. I really hope you're prepared. It won't be as easy as dimples
@dj_202311 ай бұрын
I live in my old van full time and IMHO the structural integrity of the frame and underbody were critical to the purchase. Also a waterproof roof and windows eased some of my anxiety in heavy downpours. Unfortunately the hot and cold water lines all decided to perish once I started using them on a daily basis and it cost a small fortune to replace them. It's going on three years now and I truly love living in my caravan, I don't miss my house at all. Good luck with your adventure.

Without knowing your finances , here's another suggestion. Buy both the millard and the duel axle franklin. Strip the franklin down to a chassis, and use the funature panels etc on the millard . Then flog off the franklin chassis for use as a trailer. The franklins do have a very solid chassis, but are worth much more as a car carrier type trailer, especially considering it already registered.

I had a 17' Viscount single axle with the curved windows , ally frame several years ago , Carrier air-con which i still have , really sturdy RHS chassis , similar sort of water damage as you see on these , I paid $500 and towed it home , ended up selling it on ebay for about $900 to some people who drove up from Brisbane to refurbish it for their mum . I'd be very careful about a timber frame van and some vans have a "C" section chassis which i would run away from , stick with proper RHS chassis and aluminium frame. Check the floor carefully , from above and underneath , any soft patches means rot , that can be a major repair , my old Viscount had 3/4" form ply floors , the stuff with the shiny dark brown finish on both sides , very sturdy , whereas some vans have like 1/2" exterior ply floors which do not stand the test of time . Best avoid those at all cost even if the van is really cheap , the best problems are those avoided . Also , take a ladder of some sort and inspect the roof , that is generally invisible otherwise , worth having a look . Anything else i think of I'll come back and comment further , don't rush , these vans are always on the market , if one sells there'll be more next week or soon 🙂

Also you were saying about gravel roads let the tyres down a bit and of course drive to the conditions and you shouldn’t have any problems. Just put a pressure control thing in and it shouldn’t take dust in. Have fun and enjoy the experience

I think number 3 dual axle and it looked a lot nicer and bigger inside. I think it’s good you’re getting caravan, because if you want a break from travelling, you’ve always got a home to go back to and if you get fed up with where you are, you can always move it somewhere else, whereas a home you can’t do that 👍

Great plan guys - being on a similar journey myself my advice is - weight, go with what you have, weight, manoeuvre ability/size, what you love, weight and hence fuel efficiency and available payload.. On that basis - I would go with the first Van - an aluminium frame is lighter and less hassle than a timber frame - most modern Australian caravan builders use aluminium frames or fully composite. You can put in extra windows (Megan’s concern) and if it is 16’ you could also install a shower/toilet combo. Being single axle it is more manoeuvrable - you could also have independent suspension fitted , instead of the leaf making it much more off road capable. Hopefully you have checked what weight your car can tow. Best of luck - looking forward to the adventure

Front window - more potential for leakage. Space is one thing - weight is the decider as to how much you can carry. Allowed weight includes with full water tanks, gas etc. The compliance plate (if there is one) should tell you the tare and aggregate weights. The difference is your allowed load. Renovating of course means getting new compliance approved. Maybe check all that before jumping in (if you haven't done it already). Dual axle def to my mind if available - should allow bigger payload. Just my 2 bobs worth and having dragged a van around the country over all types of road - including places it was never supposed to go - 5-6 times. Also check towing weight for your car.

Viscount are timber frame, much heavier than the millard, and prone to rot. Here is the other issue , you dont need a six berth for two people , and would be therefore stripping it out anyway, so spending more for a good interior is basically a waste of money. The main consideration is obviously the size. But do you really need it. What you save on the caravan size could buy a decent garden shed or awning to use for storage.

If it was me I would be looking more towards Caravan No 3. Firstly because of the duel axel, 2ndly because the external panels and in very good shape but most importantly is the size and space inside. You could easily remodel it for all the essentials from a bathroom/toilet, Nice sleeping area and a decent size sitting and kitchen area. Ok it's going to be a little bit heavier and cost a bit more to tow but after watching you 2 living in small Troopy for so long I really think you deserve a little bit of luxury with your travels for a change.

Woo hoo this is so exciting. 🎉 Cannot wait to watch this journey. And number 3 so you have dual axle, more space and can add a bathroom 👌🏼
