Below are some photos of our 1972 Travelhome Deluxe.
We also have a late model Jayco Freedom but as we are into the old car scene, we decided a couple of years ago to do up an older van to take to events.
We were lucky to have family who had the Travelhome and no longer wanted it so after a bit of preparation and some new tyres and lights, we obtained a permit and took it home. I have included some before and after photos. It had minor wood rot which was repaired with builders bog, windows were resealed to hopefully prevent further leaks and a new axle with electric brakes was put under it. While I prepared the chassis for a coat of paint, Kaye was busy preparing the inside for paint. She also made new curtains and cushion covers. We also had a new awning made up for it. The only concession to something modern is the new Dometic 80 litre fridge as the old Morphy Richard was not able to be repaired.
