Modifications we’ve made to the van:
� New chrome cupboard door handles
and hinges.
� Two-way fridge, which was inserted
into one of the robes.
� New curtains.
� New axle with hydraulic brakes and
new wheels for safer traveling.
� A cabinet and wine rack between the
seating and sink to house memorabilia.
� Led strip lighting and chrome stick on
strips to enhance the era.
� A poster of Marilyn Monroe under
glass in the dressing table.
The van had 17-inch Vanguard
wheels that also were on the original tow
vehicle. All the vinyl seats and coverings
are original and in very good condition.
The original ice chest is still in place and
works very well when there is no power.
The ice lasted for three days when we
went to Camperdown.
We have made three trips in it so
far to Camperdown Rockabilly Festival,
where we bumped into Lisa at a servo
in Geelong, several car shows, Echuca
Blues Festival and Historic Winton where
we won outstanding spectator vehicle
display. Winton has just introduced
vintage vans as part of the weekend and
want to see it grow. It was a very good
weekend, full of action with vintage
