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

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

A 64 YEAR-OLD MEMORY:
The scene from the window of a bus, 64 years ago in Tokyo. Not at all like Napier!
I was living and working in Napier. I was invited to participate in a variety of activities first in Japan, then in various S E Asian countries and Australia. I was the sole passenger in a Japanese log freighter and I first set foot on Japanese soil at a small and relatively isolated port town on the Japan Sea coast. Japan appeared to have no resemblances to Napier, nor to my previous home, Auckland. Eye-opening and life-changing experiences lay ahead. I bought a camera and this was one of the first photos I took with it, possibly the first.
