Looking forward to seeing Part 2 Dalek. How big is the van? Really enjoyed the You tube pictures.

Ted did same amount of work on the Wagonette, and we got the cooker, gas lights (adapted for electrics), and fridge from a Carcruiser, which I think was older than yours. Hole in roof, birds nesting in it, etc. Fridge didn't work, despite taking it to a caravan expert, so we just have the door, which everyone remarks on "oh, you've got a fridge".

Glad you liked it. Part two will be along when time permits to do all the editing. Our Clubman is 16 feet excluding towbar. Car Cruiser didnt put a fridge into their caravans untill very late in the production, around mid 1960's, so yours must have been fitted by an owner. Did the Car Cruiser you found have round port hole type skylights?
If it did it was post 1956 if not pre 1956. Any other bits left by any chance?

G'day Dalek,

That timber panelling is going to look real good when finished, and good on you for rebuilding the original double bed.

Looking forward to part 2 of the video.

Cobber.
