2003 Future System 17 Caravan
$30,000
RARE AS HEN’S TEETH 2003 17’ Future System
Don’t know much about these caravans? They suit the discerning traveller.
A Future System is a one-of-a-kind-original. These vans are not made on a production line. For decades, Frank Bottaro personally built these vans in Melbourne with a level of craftsmanship ‘unlike anything else in Australia’.
He retired around 2019.
Frank describes his vans (on his Facebook page) as:
• “Caravanning Perfection Custom made and built to exceptional standards!”
• “We take quality to a whole other level by providing truly unbeatable and affordable custom designed caravans to suit everyone! We start with our one-piece fiberglass structures and finish it off with your custom requirements! Our caravans are fully insulated, joint-free, sound-proof and leak-free!”
And this from a 2015 review: “Designed and built by Frank Bottaro, an innovative journeyman with three decades’ experience in the industry, the … smooth, sculptured all-fibreglass body embodies Frank’s accumulated skills as a cabinetmaker and fibreglass moulder.” (2015 Caravan World, Michael Browning.)
Our van: (happy to send more photos)
This Jet 510 Monoblocco (Italian for ‘One Piece’) fibreglass caravan is something special! Frank prioitised internal and external quality, and road handling. His vans are made from marine standard, double sided fibreglass with insulating foam injected in between the inner and outer panel.
The aerodynamic shape tows like a dream! The chassis is by Preston Chassis Industries. The combination of weight, length, aerodynamics, dual wheels, wishbone style trailing arm independent suspension and four shock absorbers make this van perfectly suited to many towing vehicles. Vans made by Frank do not come on the market all that often.
We love this van and it is always garaged. We’re only selling because we’ve upgraded to a larger 2005 Future System model. Once you’ve experienced a Future System it’s hard to look at anything else!
Happy to chat if you have any questions.
