Re: The Funny Side of Caravanning.
A couple more finds.
This one is from 1937, published in an American trade journal called MoToR, it would probably be classified 'culturally insensitive' these days And this one is from the pen of the well known 1950s cartoonist, Emile Mercier. He had a wicked sense of humour and often included lots of ridiculous names and little bits in cartoons.
As a kid I used to spend hours copying his cartoons to amuse myself George

These three cartoons were published in the 1938 Australian Caravan Manual and Log Book.

Interesting that the editor thought it necessary to comment on towing more than one trailer at a time.George

Interesting indeed, but apparently that rule didn't apply everywhere. I've seen a pic from New Zealand of a car towing a caravan followed by a boat! And it's a relatively late photo, ie not from the 30's or 40's - the tow car is a Chrysler Royal and the photo is dated 1954.

It wasnt that long ago that I new of a gentleman that towed two 6 x 4 box trailers at a time. He was a tradesman and one trailer had his tools and the other he filled with rubbish, he had been doing it for years and didnt know it was illegal till I said something to him.

They live among us
During our travels in Canada last year we saw several 5th wheelers towing trailers with quad bikes and jet skis so I guess it must be ok there.

I don't know the source of this cartoon but I notice in the corner it is signed E C and some of the U.S. postcards posted recently are by E.C. Kroff, the style looks similar.
