Playtime Caravan
This caravan was for sale at the Ballarat 2002 swap meet.

It was manufactured by ‘Playtime Caravans’ in Victoria in 1957.

It is a two-owner van in exceptionally good condition, having been garaged for many years.

A few modifications have been made to the van including a fridge in place of the original ice chest; and updated external lighting.
Cooking facilities are via a primus camping stove with a small wall mounted gas cylinder, undoubtedly not original.
According to the “1957 Caravan & Touring Manual”, they came with a two-burner kerosene stove.

Surprisingly, the roof of the van has no internal lining, leaving the framework exposed.

As seen in the photographs, the caravan has neat ‘fifties’ styling.
