God down memory Lane. Remember B&B chassis needed painting every year lot of jockey wheels only dropped no winding no spear wheel and only cold water from the jug.

Great days eh!

Always feels good to do some reminiscing. As kids we had a 1966 Sprite 400. In later years they had a Eurocamper which Dad towed with an Austin 1100. Hmm...guess that's we all love Not Another White Box so much 😊

Hi Martin - what great reply liked your look back at the tourers you had - back then it was a slower pace and caravans were smaller as the cars - you may find the Caravanning in the 1970's a good read ! Thanks for taking time to contact the channel

[@carolinepintar874]

What lovely vans 😊 Thanks for an enjoyable tour round!

[@caravanindustryexpertandyjenk]

Thank you - and thank you for telling me you enjoyed it -part 2 is on its way !!!!

My parents had a Fairholme Harlequin (62 or 63 I think) with rear dinette and double bed at the front which folded out from the wall . Towed with Morris Oxford. Happy days!

[@caravanindustryexpertandyjenk]

Fairholme were a good van - fold down beds were the norm back then thank you for sharing and watching the channel

We bought our first caravan earlier this year in August. It’s a classic, a Viking Fiberline. Good video. Andrew

[@caravanindustryexpertandyjenk]

Oh thank you and you have a Viking - nice vans and well made, what year ia it? Originally a South African design they have become popular on the classic scene - thanks for contacting me

@@caravanindustryexpertandyjenk I think it is a 1978. I’ve got to get a new VIN plate made up for it, the original has faded apart from a couple of weight figures, one says 992kg but not sure if that is the MIRO or max capacity. Once I’ve finished doing it up I will get it re-weighed.

[@caravanindustryexpertandyjenk]

@@Batesandrw if its a 78 it will have the front one piece window introduced for the 77 model year you can message me via the caravan industry expert FB page - I have all the Viking history.

[@Batesandrw]

@@caravanindustryexpertandyjenk It must be prior 78 because it has the three windows at the front. I would love more info on my caravan. Andrew

[@Batesandrw]

It must be prior 78 then because it has the three windows at the front. I would love more information on my Viking Fiberline, would be great to get a vin for it then I can register it with Cris.

[@Batesandrw]

When I’ve finished doing it up, you can do a review on it if you like. 😂😊

[@caravanindustryexpertandyjenk]

That could be good!

[@trb10]

I had a Eurocamper which I converted into a mobile vintage tearoom!

[@caravanindustryexpertandyjenk]
