1980 LIGHTWEIGHT vagabond pop top 1300 caravan
ALL REASONABLE OFFERS CONSIDERED
READY FOR YOUR SUMMER HOLIDAYS AWAY
CLASSIC KIWI POP TOP Caravan
Early 1980's Model 3.8M 3 Berth
Aluminium Body
Professionally Sandblasted and Two_Pot Anti-Rust Epoxy, and top coat painted underneath by Supreme Blast and Paint, Palmerston North in August 2022: Cost $1,150
Just on 2 Meters high with pop top down: so can fit inside many garages and car ports
3.8 Meters long, and 2.3 Meters wide
Drawbar adds about another 1.1M
One rear single bed 1.8 X 0.6 Meters in size
Two front single beds 1.8 X 0.7 Meters in size
They can be turned into one double bed 1.8 X 1.4 Meters by installing the planks supplied into the gap between the single beds
Outside is mainly dent-free with just a few minor dents and marks but it will need repainting at some stage: some of the clearcoat is failing, but no rush as it has all aluminium body panels
The canvas top has the usual wear, but it is still in relatively good operating condition, and I have not had any leakage problems
The small mesh ventilation vent at the back of the top needs repairing
Tires in good condition, and comes with a brand new spare wheel
WOF Current to 27/07/24
EWOF Current to 01/04/26
Registration Current to 14/12/23, but will renew to 14/12/24 before sale
Old 3 way gas fridge removed, and replaced by a 240Volt electric fridge
The old fridge gas outlet needs to be capped off
Gas stove is still connected: but I have never used it
No gas bottle supplied
Plenty of cupboard and underbed storage space
Comes with a microwave, and an electric heater, fan, and toaster
Comes with mains cords to connect to Motor Camp Power, and to normal household power
Good mains powered lighting, and plenty of power points
Seems to have an awning and groundsheet etc. but I have never unpacked or used them
Light and easy to tow: my 1.8 Litre Mazda Van tows it with ease
Was re licensed in 2012, which is why I am unsure of its exact year of manufacture
Would be happy to email a copy of its Car Jam Report, and more photos if you like

As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!

Share your question below now ⬇️
Calling All Puzzle Masters! Can You Solve This?
When John was six years old he hammered a nail into his favorite tree to mark his height.
Ten years later at age sixteen, John returned to see how much higher the nail was.
If the tree grew by five centimetres each year, how much higher would the nail be?
