The Kaesler van
Pioneer of the caravan
The “House on wheels” known as the the “cottage” was designed and built in 1931 on a 1929 dodge 6 truck by “pop” G C Kaesler of Nuriootpa
It was built to accommodate himself, his wife and three children to travel from south Australia to Brisbane via Broken Hill, Bourke, cunnamulla, returning via the eastern coast of Australia through Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne, Mount Gambier &back to Adelaide &home to Nuriootpa. The trip took two months and they traveled 6500 km (around 4038 miles).
The home comforts included a specialy made wireless radio for news and weather reports, electric lights, small fan, gas stove, collapsable fold away table, fold down bedding for two small children and modified drivers seat for the third
