Vintage Caravan Magazine Issue 38 | Page 13

I love seeing the guest’s happy expressions when they see her loves the history of Betty and the story of how I came to rescue her and turn her into the Vintage Caravan Magazine star that she was for several years. “Betty is so unique in her color and style”, she says, “Inside Betty I simply adore the window and their little latches, she is so well made, and her design is flawless”. When Betty arrived at her new home, one of the first things they did was tow her to a nearby friend’s Alpaca farm so they could practice hitching and unhitching and get some photos of Betty for their website. As anyone will attest, you only ever make mistakes with this once, right? Sure enough when they came to leave, they hitched up and took off across the grassy hill and Betty came right off the car. “We hadn’t got the tow ball attached properly but thankfully the shackles saved the day! It would have been a disaster had we been on the road instead of the grassy field!” Amanda recalls. A few more set ups since and they are now old hats at the hook up and set up process and Betty has become quite the photographic superstar. On a recent editorial photo shoot called “Ice Cream Dreaming” by the beach Betty was all set up to look like an Ice-cream van with her serving window and yummy ice-creams. “We had so many people approach us with their wallets out wanting to buy ice-cream! It was hilarious that we had a queue of beach goers next to Betty” Amanda laughs. To book Betty for your next celebration go to: www.bettythesunliner.com.au vintagetrailermagazine | 11
