West Heidelberg. Victoria.

Country Club caravans were advertised as Australias first Fibreglass caravan, although the vans had a fibreglass front panel with an aluminium roof and plastic faced Rescote walls.

The following link will take you back to the main website to look at the Country Club brochures.

A 1956 article on the newly released Country Club 16' caravan, with balsa core stock walls and an aluminium roof, this van also features a very unusual double island bed.

A 1957 article and ad for Country Club Caravans. It is interesting that the ad states that they are now selling the front and back panels to the home builder. I wonder if they ended up selling the fibreglass roof section to go with it all as well ?

Here is a very basic advertisement from Motor Manual 1-4-1955. Wonder when they started? They are not listed in Motor Manual's Year Book No 3 in 1950.
