G'day mtm, What info are you looking for? I can tell you that all Travel Home vans over 16ft came with a free dog, and I see you've still got the one that came with your van.   cheers, Al. |

I have no idea what year the chassis number relates to, so I'd only be guessing. The wind-out windows would be 1973 or later. The factory was in Canterbury Rd., Kilsyth Vic., and they specialised in larger models, but had a good range of smaller units.
The Travel Home sticker changed in design during the 1970s, so if you can post a close-up photo of the sticker then I'll see if that helps to narrow down the possible year.
cheers,
Al.

hi,
I would place your van as a 77 or 78 model myself based on what I recall from back then.
Cheers AL

I understand this thread is a few years old but after trying to reasearch and hardly finding anything hopefully I get a reply of this!
Myself and my partner have recently bought one the same as you. And are looking for a bit of information! I have no idea what year but looks exactly like yours and is a tandem axel, thanks a lot.

Hi Tyler,
Travelhome started in Kilsyth,Victoria in about 1967,by a tall Dutchman that had an eye for quality.
They were a cut above the rest at the time,and used different finishes inside to what everyone else used.You will notice all Travelhome have a high central ceiling,this was for tall people,as the builder was very tall!
They were a heavy van,as top quality parts were used to build them,I think they finished in the late 70s,don't know why,maybe getting too expensive against the mass produced vans of the time.
I can't help with the chassis number,but if you show some interior and exterior pics I will be able to give you a year.
Hope this helps
Cheers
