1939 ad for Rover Caravans of Collingwood.

One would assume that these vans were built in Collingwood, and as the ad above shows, were then shipped to Tasmania.

These two adverts appeared in the Border Watch (Mount Gambier) on 4-10-1938 (left) and 18-10-1938. The latter indicated that a Rover caravan had been fitted out to demonstrate and test radios by a local radio dealer. The earlier reference did not specify the brand.
