Thanks Raywood, I'm actually one of the founders of the Retro Caravan Club!

Thanks everyone. If you subscribe to my channel via YouTube, you'll get notifications when I upload a new video

My name is Cameron and I've been on this forum for many years, but don't get time to post often. I'm an avid classic caravan enthusiast, and during the lockdown, have the opportunity to restore a caravan at home. I've decided to film the process and bring people along for the ride. It's a 1959...

Our 1935 Winchester 'Deluxe' is being featured on the programme as it was the inspiration behind the original plans

Unfortunately, this article doesn't even scratch the surface of buying a classic caravan. We're seeing more classic caravans being bought back to life than ever, but there's not a lot of "insider tips" out there for newcomers to the hobby. Knowing what it is and what to pay for it are important...

I don't know if you're on Facebook, but I run the Classic Sprite Caravans (Official) page, where you'd be most welcome to join and meet others with similar caravans. Of course, there's lots of advice to be had from other owners too. Hope to see you there! :)...

We'll be seeing you there again Emmerson! Not sure what caravan we're taking yet. The trip was 140 miles to this campsite and we had to stop for fuel half way in the Jag! So not sure it's best to take to Europe. Sadly came home on a recovery truck too as she suffered a blocked carburettor...

Just returned from a weekend away near Stroud, Gloucester. Stayed at Apple Tree Farm Campsite and met a few friends with vintage caravans. We took our 1967 Regency Balmoral and towed it with our 1978 Jaguar XJ6 4.2. Anyone else here heading out already with their vintage caravans? Or have any...

We've just returned from three days away at Apple Tree Farm Campsite near Stroud, Gloucester. It's a beautiful campsite and well looked after. Toilets with underfloor heating were a welcome bonus too at this time of the year. We spent our time visiting friends and exploring the area. Stroud has...

Yes Emmerson, that's us! We're currently planning to attend next year's ECCR near Amiens. Will we be seeing you there again? Hope you and Anne are well.

We've had a Fleetwood Heritage 600-EB for around a year now and have never been able to get the Alde system to work. We've had a caravan engineer to look at the system, but he was unable to fix the problem. A reputable caravan dealer also tried to advise, but so far no luck. The problem as I...

We've always gone by 1982. The recession of 1982 saw off most of the "classic" makes such as Safari, Royale, Cheltenham... even Sprite! Clubs and rallies tend to go with 1980, but this misses some caravans which were manufactured between 1980 and 1982 but the design remained the same. However...

Think I've found the forum section for me! For our sins, we're classic caravan hoarders. At the minute we have the following: 1948 Safari Minor 1957 Sprite Alpine T 1958 Bluebird Cambrian 1958 Sprite Alpine T (restored) 1960 Sprite 400 1962 Sprite Musketeer 1963 Sprite Alpine S...

I collect them - the oldest I have are copies of the "Caravan" magazine from 1955. Mainly 1960's and 1970's magazines, but have been subscribing to PC since about 2003 and have kept every issue! Sometimes it's nice to re-read some of the old stuff.

Oops, the photos didn't upload very well. Here they are again: My 1988 ABI Award Dawnstar: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VWooDMERVaA/TgD_LghifDI/AAAAAAAAABc/gGlxSPHs_xI/s1600/photo+%25283%2529.JPG My 1963 Sprite Alpine...
