all right i know they were made in Gloucester but we know they made about 1200 from 69 to 82 ish so how come there's always a couple on Ebay
when I first started with the club 4 births were scarce and later tourmasters were even harder to find but this year there all over the place

IS SOMEONE MAKING THEM ? AND PLEASE CAN I HAVE A TOURCRUISER FOR CHRISTMASS

Christine - It is the same with Safaris. A few years ago someone actively looking for one would wait months even to see one. Now they are on Ebay every week and members of my group are finding more and more Safaris in varying conditions.

A member in Scotland found three in a week!!

Christine, now you've let the cat out of the bag! You've shown Mr Safari Miller where the Welsh Royale factory is!
Actually, its not a factory, more a maternity ward, as we started with two big Royales, and finished up with tow big 'uns and two kids!
You just don't know what goes on in these valleys at night.
I'm watching the range Rover and the Volvo just to see what they can produce.

Could I join in this thread please?

Woke up a couple of weeks ago to find I had twins, even the neighbours where shocked to find two identical caravans on my drive way!

Just where are all these Royale's coming from?

I prefer 1960`s Carlight`s anyway.

Or our Viking Deluxe 12ft.

I had five caravans once upon a time

One at home, the others all in storage which was costing a small fortune each month!

I was also featured in Practical Caravan......I will try and upload the article at some point

As for your preference Gresham, I'd like the full Carlight tea pot set, but you can keep the caravan!

9 Vans and a trailer tent. I had a barn then which I didn´t have to pay for. Divorce sorted that out so now I´ve only 4 left + the trailer tent. 2 from 1949, the Vogue from 1957 and a small swedish egg in fiberglass from 1965.

The weirdest one that I had to get rid of was a real wreck but the sides were okay and it was savable. Sold it to 2 guys who turned up in a large box lorry and they loaded it inside. 1964 Astral Sunrise.....

Well Done
Welcome to the Royale Family
there is a nice face book community, and a great little owners club.
