Fancy a Roadtrip this Summer?

Miniature vintage and classic caravans — otherwise known as ‘tinies’ and ‘teardrops’ — have become hugely popular in recent years, due to their dinkiness and versatility.

Don and Marilyn Jessen have compiled a beautiful collection of unique caravans in this collection. Something to encourage anyone to pack up and hit the road this summer!

The good use of compact spaces and the appeal of quality design have always caught Don and Marilyn Jessen’s imagination, and their travels have connected them with a wide variety of people at the forefront of the ‘tinies’ and ‘teardrops’ movement. This book pulls together a collection of these small but perfectly formed mobile spaces from across Australia and New Zealand.

Available to purchase March 2020 from stores nationwide and on our website!
