Historic Camper Trailer - to a good home
Bit of a deviation from our normal posts this one...
We've found ourselves in the possession of a 1966 Cargill Caravanette. It was just too cute to pass up but we have realised that we just don't have to time to give it the restore that it meeds. Not that it needs that much. It's in pretty tidy condition, the framework for the canvas is complete and working, although the canvas is gone. It has been under cover for much of it's life so while there is some surface rust nothing is too major. Check out the pic and shoot me an email if you are interested. We'd be happy to see it go to a good home.

hi, my parents bought a new Cargill Caravanette back in 1963-4,dad towed it with his VW Beetle convertible he bought back from West Germany when he was stationed in the Navy there.
I still have the original canvas cover in perfect condition from dads van as after we used it as a family for a year or so dad removed the canvas and put it away.
We have been after another early Caravanette for a while,but each one we looked at was severely rusted beyond repair.
I would be happy to pay you for your van.
I would restore the whole van back to original.
Would love to hear back from you.
Cheers.
