The Rolls Royce of Caravans... A Vintage Classic from 1935

1935 Royal Winchester Caravan


















Very classy interior all solid wood and home comforts
How we all look after a night camping





















 
Came across this massive classic vintage caravan at the Heritage Motor Centre, Gaydon.
Only 9 were ever made. The height of luxury camping in 1935.

This Really is the Grand Daddy of Airstream Hotels




















A Cool Airstream Rooftop Trailer Park – The Grand Daddy
The Grand Daddy is located in Long Street, Cape Town’s inner-city. The Soho of South Africa, in full view of Table Mountain, right on the doorstep of Cape Town’s ultimate playground.

The Grand Daddy Hotel in Cape Town, South Africa has re-imagined the concept of "penthouse," thanks to seven gleaming, vintage Airstream trailers perched on the roof of the hotel. Each trailer was decorated by seven artists/designers from Cape Town, resulting in a whimsical home-away-from-home that celebrates Africa's beautiful skies and Table Mountain view with the idyllic American camping experience.  

Each trailer comes with its own garden / yard and mailbox; and it comes fully equipped with air conditioning, hot and cold running water, functioning showers and toilets. Another perk? Enjoy summer nights outside watching a movie with other Airstream dwellers.
