All Care and Camber Caravans

"All Care" Caravans
Coral Service Station
253 Waverley Road,
East Malvern, Vic
Camber Caravan
same address as above.
Pre 1961 at 434 Burke Road,
South Camberwell, Vic.
It would seem that these were hire businesses and not caravan manufacturers.
Some of the following advertisements show vans for each with their respective names painted on the vans and I thought if someone had old holidays photos showing the name on the van it might be helpful if they go searching.
These advertisements are all from The Royalauto magazine of the RACV and while I did a Trove search for newspaper adverts I could find nothing for either name.
From the advertising it appears that "All Care" was taken over by Camber and the former name disappeared, even though the business then operated from the "All Care" address. The two addresses are only a short distance apart from what I can see.
The earliest ad for Camber states over 40 vans in the hire fleet using the makes Skyline, Sunbeam and Carefree. Sunbeam is a new one to me and I can't find anything about them or any advertising at this time.
These adverts from early 1961 show the same style van painted in the livery of each company. Someone more knowledgeable that I might recognize the make.
Then a few simple adverts until the last one found in 1962 which shows a Skyline van.
Another, different ad for Camber has been posted under the Carefree post indicating they were agents for that brand.
