A 1937 flyer for masonite in caravan construction.

Hi Richard

Here's another caravan orientated Masonite advertisement from 1938. It too is from the good old days when CSR was the manufacturer. I saw somewhere recently they had a plant at Raymond Terrace which might explain Masonite Road that we travelled on recently when taking the van to Nelson's Bay. I thought at the time it was an odd name but the subsequent information makes sense of it.

From what I can see it seems it is made by Gunnersens these days?

Hi George.
Here is another Masonite ad from the early 1940's.

Last weekend was very busy for Linda Joshua and I, as on Sunday we had a car club with around 50 people come to have a look through Australias only Caravan Museum. We were also very lucky to have one of the people visiting, donating a late 1950's, early 1960's Masonite brochure.
I just love these old brochures with the coloured pictures, but they are also very useful as they give you an idea of the colour schemes of that period. I have included one kitchen plan of the 8 in the brochure to give you an idea of how a kitchen was built back then, which is also very similar in construction to cupboards in a caravan.
