Airstream Trailer

Airstream Trailer

The Airstream Trailers are arguably the most recognised vintage van of all time, so they had to be represented in our collection. It is my dream to own one of these beauties... especially the Airstream Bambi, so we had to feature this one!
Boler Trailer

Boler Trailer

Whilst researching new inspiration, I recently discovered the gorgeous Boler Trailers from stunning Canada and now I am totally besotted! So much so they have made it into our new Iconic Collection. If you are not familiar with them, here is a brief history. After that, I am sure you will fall in love with them as much as I have.
Crusader Caravans

Crusader Caravans

During the 1960’s, several New Zealand caravan manufacturers attempted to export their vans into Australia…but very few succeeded. With the freight cost, an already slim profit margin and stiff competition from already established Australian caravan brands, it simply wasn’t a good idea.
Franklin Caravans

Franklin Caravans

It was 1947 when a friend suggested to a 17 year-old Geoff Robertson that they take a Christmas holiday in Lorne, Victoria. Not exactly flush with money, Geoff thought he’d build a caravan for the trip, although he’d never done this before.
Jurgens Caravans

Jurgens Caravans

Although the Jurgens caravan journey officially started in South Africa in the early 1950’s, Geert Jurgens - a coachworks and truck body builder from Holland – actually built his first caravan back in 1938.
Otten Caravans

Otten Caravans

The Otten caravan is one of the oldest caravans to come out of the Netherlands, which is why it had to represent the Netherlands in our Iconic Collection. It's unusual shape certainly has my attention too!

Predom Caravans

Predom Caravans

The manufacturer Niewiadów launched what would become Poland’s most famous caravan in 1973. In fact, the Predom Prespol N-126 is still the most popular caravan in Poland, although we hear that it’s used more as a kebab van, rather than a camping van these days!
Shasta Travel Trailer

Shasta Travel Trailer

From the moment I found this little Shasta Compact, I knew she had to be part of our Van Go journey. It was the 'wings' that caught my attention, as it is a feature of these trailers not seen on any other. As you will find out below, they are highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts and we can see why!
