A collection of interesting/awful campers & motorhomes

Thanks Neil, I've not not learnt to do that yet. I'm almost certain its a Trabant and presumably its a period accessory. Careful how you get up in the morning eh!!

[Stickyfinger]

yep: Trabant's and Wartberg's

[van ordinaire]

Definitely a Trabbie (but I'm amazed they're weight bearing!), as is the one next to it BUT between that one & the Skoda is Tatra!

Davie, that would definitely be a head-turner for me. Yes it could be construed as being a monstrosity, but not for me....odd, nice colour, and with a couple of hundred thousand miles behind the wheel of a couple of Sierras myself there's a bit of affection/nostagia for the old jellymould still there.

If thats an original spot, worth a standard 15 points from I-Spy Classic Cars, but bonus points aplenty would be waiting for spotting that particular combination "at a show" or "on the road"

Regards Neil

Not exactly a motorhome or a camper but a nice little combination nevertheless



Regards Neil

That is lovely Neil

So sad we've lost so much style these days... A Chelsea Tractor towing a high-spec modern caravan just doesn't cut it compared to that...

The leadlights gave me a chuckle.

Can anyone else here picture an Activa towing a caravan with ARCS?

[NewcastleFalcon]

Another nice pair



regards Neil

Yes, there was a person who used to arrive at rallies in an Activa tugging a caravan...

[addo]

I meant the caravan should have Activa suspension too!

I meant the caravan should have Activa suspension too!

Ahh yes, they need it as they are generally quite roly-poly on their springs...

[Stickyfinger]

ACTIVA 2cV ?

[CitroJim]

ACTIVA 2cV ?

Now that's a thought to conjure with!!!

...whats the car with the tent on the top? ...

and here are some more Trabants with the tents on the top

By the way some years ago I had the chance to drive a Trabant (without the tent on top) in Hungary. It was a very very interesting experience Steering, brakes and several other functions work with real muscle power.
