Our Touring Past

Playtime Caravans.
78 - 80 Ballarat Rd.Maidstone. Victoria.

To fully understand the history of Playtime caravans the first post in the Rowvan Caravans section needs to be read, see also Farrell Caravans.

This 1956 ad for Playtime Caravans shows the identical body, interior layout and fittings from a Rowvan caravan.

A nice stylish little van which would have been fairly light too judging from the tow car, a Vauxhall Caleche and the 4 cylinder Wyvern model too by the look of the hub cap, amazing where they turn up.

1958 Playtime ad.

1950's vintage caravan brochure for Playtime Caravans.

It is interesting that the brochure shows on page three that the exterior is clad in marine bonded ply, where our Rowvan is clad externally with masonite.
