Hi Richard

I see there are no pictures of Wanda Caravans and thought you might like this advertisement from Australian Monthly Motor Manual (bit of a mouthful, no wonder they shortened it) from Nov. 1950. There is no indication that they built it but it is a beast with all mod cons. It would get plenty of attention these days had it survived. Did it survive? Would need to run it on gas these days!

Hi George.
Great little ad. You can bet that it would have been a fairly slow trip towing all of that.

Hello, I'm new this site - and have just become the proud owner of a Wanda caravan! It is a little beauty. I will post a photo as soon as I learn how.

1950 Wanda advert. The caravan in the second picture looks to have very modern lines for a caravan that was built in the 1950's.
