Ah yes, gas mantles and floor foot pumps - I remember those, they were the only lighting the Bailey we bought as our first caravan had.
DO NOT TOUCH THE GAS MANTLE ONCE IT HAD BEEN USED OR IT FELL APART - CARRYING A SPARE WAS ESSENTIAL.
The Piper had them too but also electric lights.
The Piper also had a fridge and a full oven but no shower in the toilet compartment that held our transferred Porta Potti 33.
In about 1982 I bought and fitted myself a Carver Cascade 1 water heater ( it had a flying saucer shaped copper cylinder above the burner ) and a shower tray to make us self contained on French sites where we often used Municipal sites in the '80's.
Those Municipal site toilets in the 80's were - erm, basic.
We have just had 2 weeks in South Wales - first time in the area for us.
