1980(??) Avondale Caravan

[Husky]

I know, i know Im a glutton for punishment but this van and i repeat THIS VAN will not be demolished and rebuilt from the ground up. No need its a pretty neat unit as it is and belongs to my land lady who wants to come racing with is next year. yep another van to be done before April.

The million dollar question though is, "What is It?"

The Van was purchased about three years ago in pretty good nick, obviously needing minor work for rego. we even sneaked it out to one race event to test it out unregistered. Unfortunately as things always seem to do, stuff got in the way of getting it ready for rego and it has pretty much sat waiting for me to have a spare five minutes. With the amount of crap going on in her life at the moment i think she deserves the van fixed up, cleaned up and rego'ed ready for use. She loves spending time with our fur kids and often volunteers to babysit even though she is in her sixties and dealing with 13 excited huskies is not an easy task especially when looking after her two year old grand son pretty much full time. He also loves the dogs and is a Pee Wee Musher running his first race at the state cup last year. ok ok yeah i get a kick out of it too

Anyhow back to the van and the not to long to do list.

Like i said i have no idea what it is hence the thread title. Identification as follows

OK the To DO List

Put spare wheel on and get puncture fixed,

Repair trailer wiring

Locate 12 volt feed from car and re route to a 12 volt battery

External de moss and clean

Bring lights and reflectors into accordance with vic roads legislation

Strip clean, check and repack wheel hubs

Minor repairs to bed and cupboards internally (Interior photos available soon)

Interior LED lighting upgrade

Fit ONE ONLY Dog crate Malamute size

Re Key / upgrade Door lock

Repair / replace 13ft awning

and obviously more to come. My land lady is looking at joining CC to watch this thread. i'm sure you will all make her feel welcome.

As always any tips suggestions or spare parts are welcome. thanks guys

Hi Husky,
Your van is one of the last Avondales,built in Melbourne.
Looks to be about a 1980 model.
Hope this helps
Cheers
