Welcome to a strech of former road leading from a highway to the small town of Karjaa, or Karis in Swedish. Decades ago the road was rerouted, and finally this small part of it has been reduced to the parking lot of a terrain running track. There, neatly parked next to a forest, we found this.
A camping trailer, probably from the late 1980’s or early 1990’s. Back in my childhood these were really common, but throughout the years they’ve become rarer and rarer. If people go camping, they get a camper van, not a trailer.
It looks as if they have tried to make the kitchen as luxurious looking as possible. Yet that is all just plastic.
The front part of the caravan with the toilet to the right.
Playing cards. What a classic way of spending time in vehicles like this.
Even parquette imitating plastic floor has been installed.
The toilet. And fresh looking spring water there.
The back with more fake wood and leather imitating sofa pillows.
The beer boxes are definitely younger than the caravan. My question is, have they been consumed by the last inhabitant living here or the teenagers, who have messed up the place.
The kitchen appliances were powered by gas. The final bottle was still here.
This must be the tiniest TV ever.
The caravan was branded LMC Münsterland Luxus. And probably it was really luxurious at its time. But times change.
I don’t know for how long the caravan stayed there. It’s already visible in aerial photos from 2021, I visited in May 2022. In current aerial photos it is already gone. And it is probably gone forever.
