Great little van, pity I didn't get some interior shots.

Its not very often that I come across big vintage caravans like this dual axle twin door Carapark 23 footer (my estimate) which was recently advertised for sale via the internet.

Wow
By the looks of things the owner thought 2 doors was one too many ???
Interesting to find out what it weighed.
Would need a good solid towcar / truck to haul it ??

The Carapark adverts just keep turning up, this one from Motor Manual 2 April, 1956.

I found this photo of Bob and Dolly Dyer on an American page and the image had been flipped.
I thought I could recognise the van, it looks to be a Carapark Zestline 16'2" Delux.
