Still going to sell our Jayco Swan @mudski , bring up a bottle of something & let’s talk about a deal 🤣
I have a '73 16' Millard and still a good van though we now use a teardrop van, light comfortable and perfect for two old foggies like us and our little sausage dog. Prices vary as do all things but a good one is around $6-10K mostly wood and a few fibreglass versions to cater to most tastes. Kitchen in the back sleeper in the front and 12v power only.

Yep I've been over and seen Kallen's camper, he's done a bloody good job of it.
Now that's one thing I've noticed, 20 year old caravans get a better ROI (return on investment) than cars, so I reckon you're probably right AB.
I have no experience with camper trailers. You never see them pack them up in their display videoa, only ever open them. I reckon there's a good reason for that and I reckon it's coz it's a bastard of a job, am I right?
This ^^^ is what I'm thinking about, something in the $5 - $10K range pre USB and LED lighting. Rip out the old stuff like gas ovens and inefficient fridge and put in new stuff. Toughen up the chassis, replace the suspension etc etc.
It can double as a spare room when the kids home from the city as well.
Thinking of getting a small van my self. after all its onty to sleep in and maybe
get out of the rain and make coffee and cook a bit if no fire. Dad had a ripper
12ft job rear door but sold it due to poor health. was going to buy Simons 4wd tv Jayco dove
but as you know things happen, Simon still emails me and Ill very gratefull for that.
Must email him and see what he has now
We've got a kanga camper. Looked, bought,sold many until we found 'the one' . It's gas struts so push on the bar, up it pops. Couple of poles and youre done. Not much weight to tow, so it can go on our 2wd as well. Love the fact it's a hard roof. All the basics, what it doesn't have the Patrol does. Perfect for our needs.

Nah @mudski - we don’t use it , anytime we go away we swag it - now that I’ve FINALLY converted Moodz to swag life 👍🏻 Just for the record - not all caravans are slow - the night we bought it in Melb I was coming home on the freeway late at night at about 140 - moodz said “ why are you going so fast ?! “ I replied “ 2 reasons - 1 because I want to see if it’ll handle it & 2nd because I want to see people’s faces as I split them then realise there’s a caravan on the back “ 🤣
