    Saw Minnie Winnie Trailers, Caravans at the Sydney Caravan And Camping Show

    To finish off the Camper Trailer,  not Winnebago looked like something out of James Bond. It was built for a New Zealand gent, who wanted it to match his Black Motohome and Pickup Truck http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a186/RobRyan7/image.jpg1_zpsefgzztwl.jpg How it looks extended...

    Photo of the Outside of the Caravans, the "fruit salad" comment seems appropriate here. The Pavilion they were in was a temporary one http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a186/RobRyan7/image.jpg1_zpsposf6xax.jpg From the Winnebago website Pelmets have been lightened since this shot...

    When is a Winnebago not a Winnebago?

    When is a Winnebago not a Winnebago?

    This will have you scratching your heads. It is a long  discontinued model, that was upgraded to sell of the last units, notice flat panel TV's  but like the "Jayco" I showed is not made by a U.S. affiliated company http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a186/RobRyan7/image.jpg3_zpsgb9ipum1.jpg...
