A friend of mine has bought this - any clues at to what it is? Minimotel, perhaps?

As people will know by now, I never say never when it comes to Mini-Motels, Portafolds or Ansfolds but it doesn't look like any pictures I've seen of Mini-Motels, or of it's half brother the Sussex Two-some.

I'd love to have a look at the inside? especially with that skylight, but like hubby says...Where is the door??

I would guess half a pint of beer, possibly Real ale or "Homebrew" on a block of wood ?!

sorry not a clue about the caravan
Regards

Polly the van

It has now been dragged out of the undergrowth and pictures of the inside will be on their way - I say inside, it sort of came apart, so not sure quite what we've got yet.............

Hello,

Looks interesting! What is the pick up in front of the van?

that pick-up looks suspiciosly(sorry about the spelling) like a moggy pick-up with a home made rear wooden bed

My mate has one of these or somthing very similar and it was called a Sherman. The ends come erect on some sort of roller system but it does not work very well and is very heavy to put up. One person could not do it on their own. Its in a bit of a state inside as all the internal partitions have rotted out (according to him as I have not seen the inside)

This is the same - the door is on some sort of roller - still waiting for pics to arrive so that I can post them

I'll see if I can get some pictures next time I'm over his place and any info he has.
