by Maeve O’Donnell

Carlight have been manufacturing caravans since the 1930s so they know a fair bit about building a ‘van to last. This week’s Used Caravan of the Week is no exception, this Carlight Casa dates all the way back to 1973.

Throughout the 1970s Carlight stuck with their ‘Classic’ design and this caravan, with its lantern shaped roof, is instantly recognisable. This Casa is perfect for anyone with a love of all things retro.

The 1970s saw Carlight build their caravans with the idea of being a home from home in mind, and the emphasis was on details. Soap holders, magazine racks and cocktail cabinets were just some of the features offered to ensure no home luxuries were missed.

History

This model is the smallest of the collection at 12ft and has 2 berths. Despite this, it is surprisingly roomy for two people and manages to fit in decent living space, a well planned kitchen and compact bathroom with ease.

This vintage Casa is furnished with carpet and curtains throughout which add to its homely interior.

The seller admits one of the side windows needs repairing as there is a small crack and some of the windows have been affected by moisture. But the seller is keen to highlight that for its age it is in good shape.

Kit & Caboodle

The kitchen features include a fridge freezer, a hob, grill and oven combination and sink area. There are two full length beds/settees and considerable storage with a wardrobe and overhead lockers. The caravan also has a 12v water and lighting system to ensure life on the road is as easy as possible.

The exterior is painted in the classic white, coupled with the Carlight profile it is sure to make a statement on the road.
