Hi all. We just bought an old van for us to do up and have been trying to work out what it is. The guy we bought it from didn't know and the guy he bought it from didn't care. We've been scoring the internet trying to find one the same but can only find similar. We've looked at Viscount, Franklin, Millard and lots we've never heard of before but can't fine anything that looks the same. It's 20ft and has C315 welded into the drawbar. It is also timber framed and was white. We don't know what year it is. If anyone knows what the van is could you please tell us. We need to know and it's driving us nuts!  |

Copying and pasting some information from the Vintage Caravans forum, where kajatar first posted a request for information about this van: "Hi kajatar, Your van is a Casavilla from the seventies that has been painted silver . They were a strong van made in Kilsyth in Victoria,they usually had a framed on the interior ceiling beams that gave them a "cottage" look. Most also did not have roof hatches,just one or two Electrolux round vents in the roof. Hope this helps you a bit. Cheers Hughdeani" ------------------------------------------ "Casavilla, Canterbury Rd., Kilsyth, VIC. In 1975 they were described as "A new company to Australia that specialises in Spanish decor and features. Units built to customer specs and inspection during construction is encouraged. Sales outlet through Market Caravans, Croydon, Vic." Obviously with chassis number C315 you have an early model, which probably means around 1974. The fact your van has wind-out windows means it is from 1973 or later. cheers, Al." A larger photo of kajatar's van:  |
