Re: [VAL] FW: Classified Ad-Caravan trucks



Hi guys,

I have been in the club for ten years now. I'm thinking that this is the 
first time I have seen one of these outside of the old caravan movies. A 
while back I saw a truck with an Airstream shell mounted on it. They were 
both of the vintage that it might of been a caravan truck.
