We can see how this caravan got its name, just look at this cute little snail!
Kombi & Westfalia

Kombi & Westfalia

The Kombi is arguably the most iconic and well known van of its type around the world (except maybe an Airstream). The ultimate symbol of freedom and adventure, the Kombi will always hold a special place in our hearts and in our designs.
Lander Levante

Lander Levante

Say “Ciao!” to the Lander Levante Graziella 300 caravan, from the Borgomagno district in Padua, in North Eastern Italy. What other van could have been chosen to represent Italy!
Millard Caravans

Millard Caravans

If ever there were a ‘right time, right place’ success story, Millard would be it.

From humble beginnings in the 1940’s, Millard grew to be one of the ‘big five’ caravan manufacturers in Australia (which also included Viscount, Franklin, Chesney and Coronet for those interested!).

Founded by Jim Darlington and his son John, Millard is one of Australia’s oldest caravan brands, and it still plays a role in how Australians enjoy the caravan lifestyle today.

Sprite Caravans

Sprite Caravans

From a post in the armed forces to caravan designer may seem like a leap, however this is exactly what Sam Alper did in 1947. His brother Henry had a newly established caravan business – Alperson Products in the U.K. – that was to become Sprite Caravans, one of Britain’s most trusted and prolific caravan manufacturers.
Thomson Caravans

Thomson Caravans

When I first started Van Go, we needed a logo and my research led me to these images. The 1970 Thomson Mini Glen became my first love. It was meant to be - Firstly I was born in 1970 and I have Scottish heritage! From a design perspective, it was the perfect shape for a logo because it was symmetrical and therefore, balanced. The fact that it was so cute was a bonus!
