Thread: My 1969 Millard caravan

Thought ill post some pics of my 1969 Millard 16ft vintage and the work im doing to it. Basically, its an alloy frame and in the past has had some leaks in the front and back, so have done some work to fix. I have loads of pics and some vids of the work (links in my sig) but ill post up a few pics here.

Not sure if there are many here that own old caravans, but would like to know if you do and what work has been done on them.

Here she sits just a little after the purchase late last year


Draw bar was a write off - completely rusted. Justin Cooper is helping me with making a new one, so the old one has been cut off a week or so back


Interior pic - not that the front and rear walls have since been removed (to replace the rotted ply)


Underneath, the chassis was scrubed back using angle grinder and wire brush, then painted with kill rust paint. The floor was painted with external timber varnish to help water proof it


Anyway, loads more photos here

I like to find aluminium 'vans that are slightly battered on the outside that have really nice interiors. It costs a fortune to do up the inside of a rotten caravan and if they have leaked there almost always far worst than you think once you start working on it.

You'll spend 6months driving all over the state looking at rotten garbage (even the really young stuff can be rotten and stinky as buggery) ... then suddenly decide something like that $9000 above if it isn't rotten is bloody good value
