Fairholme comforts

From garden find to regular touring companion, this rare 1956 Fairholme Bambi has been transformed by owner John Novell – Andy Jenkinson tells the story

By Andy Jenkinson Published: March 16, 2015

John Novell is no stranger to caravan restoration. One tourer he’d restored was an early Bailey Maestro, which is now in the Bristol Museum. Several have passed through John’s workshop, including his latest find: a rare two-berth 1956 Fairholme Bambi, with an end kitchen, a corner washroom and a front dinette. 

It’s an appealing tourer and very practical for John and his wife, Eileen, who take it on classic rallies – including a recent one in Belgium. Bambis were made from 1956 until 1957, when Fairholme was known mainly for family models. Only between 100 and 150 Bambis are believed to have been built, making John’s survivor all the more special. 

John spotted the old tourer in a back garden. It had not been used in more than 30 years and its wheels had been removed. Still, the owner could not bear to part with it, so he had painted the bodyshell many times since putting it to pasture. 

However, the caravan was in desperate need of attention and John was there at the right time. He knew just from looking at it that major work was in the offing. But pleasant surprises lurked behind the sidewalls: the frame was as solid as the day it had been made and the joins still held. Perhaps it was because the owner had lavished so much paint on it.

Some timbers were rotten, but they were not structural. As he replaced these and interior board, John had another lucky find: the furniture had weathered the years well, too.  

The soft furnishings were another story, so John sourced replacements from a Swift that had been disassembled. He also wanted to add to the Bambi’s existing storage, so he had an overhead locker made to match the others. He swapped the cracked roof vents with new ones he’d ordered to measure. 

The original kit was largely intact: gas lights, a two-burner hob, a grill, and a moulded kitchen unit comprising sink, drainer and soap dish. A handpump brought water to the tap, but this was not specified as standard equipment in the Fairholme brochure. Nor was a fridge, but John fitted a 1970s Electrolux that he could run on gas alone.

For a mid-1950s tourer, the Bambi wasn’t badly fitted out, except in one tiny place: the washroom, located in the corner alongside the entrance door. It was an empty shell, and there was hardly enough space for a toilet. However, John fitted a Thetford and a clever folding door that opens outwards to meet the wardrobe, thereby creating a more spacious cubicle. There was no light, either, so John included an LED unit, enabling night-time visits. 

With the kitchen at the end, the Bambi has a low noseweight. To increase it, John stores heavy items in the bed boxes. Other storage options are that full-length wardrobe and a cocktail cabinet at the front. 

John has other projects on the go now, but the Bambi is the caravan that he and Eileen tour in; they attend so many rallies with it that he has little time for restoration. 

The Fairholme Bambi is a rare model from a once prolific manufacturer. We wonder whether its designers and production line staff could have realised that this one would still be around – and in regular use on caravan holidays – nearly 60 years after being built.

What were foreign tourists allowed to see on trips to the Soviet Union?

Although the Soviet Union was rather closed off to outsiders, it was still possible to go there. For many foreigners, such a trip was an expensive luxury, but one that gave them the experience of a lifetime.

It is not just a trip, it is a trip into a new world

Intourist poster

Soon after the Soviet Union was established, its leadership began thinking about how to attract foreign tourists since the country's economy was in desperate of foreign currency. In 1929, the state joint-stock company Intourist was created and given a monopoly on the sale of tours to the USSR. One of its slogans was: "It is not just a trip, it is a trip into a new world." Foreign tourists were intrigued.

Intourist poster, 1930

Some of the first foreigners to visit the Soviet Union were famous writers, artists and other public figures. Theodore Dreiser came in 1927, Bernard Shaw in 1932 and French writer and Nobel Prize winner Romain Rolland in 1935.

Bernard Shaw in Moscow, 1931

In the 1930s, Intourist opened offices in the United Kingdom, Germany, and the United States. Before the start of World War II, some 129,000 foreign tourists visited the USSR. They were offered different itineraries throughout the country, from Moscow to the Russian Far East. Tourists were lured by posters like these, which were created by the best Soviet illustrators.

In addition to Moscow and Leningrad, other major attractions included Crimea, Volga cruises and road trips across the country.

The flow of tourists to the USSR resumed after the war, and in the 1950s the country entered a period of political “thaw.” The Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev began travelling around the world, and the Soviet Union began hosting international events like the world festival of youth and students. In total, more than 70 million tourists from 162 countries visited the USSR between 1956 and 1985.

American tourists in Moscow, 1972

But at the same time no one was going to let foreigners wander around on their own. The country could only be explored under the watchful eye of an Intourist guide/translator. Any private plans had to be abandoned, and foreign tourists were only shown ideologically impeccable achievements of the Soviet economy and lifestyle.

Tourists from Austria in Manezhnaya Square, 1963

The science fiction writer Robert Heinlein and his wife Virginia visited the USSR with an Intourist group in 1959-1960. Afterwards he wrote about the all-encompassing control the guides exercised on their group, an extortionate exchange rate (4 rubles to a dollar) and glaring gaps between customer service in the USA and the USSR.

["I cannot honestly urge anything short of ‘Luxe’ class because even the best in Russia is often shockingly bad by our standards—bathrooms without baths, even hotels with no baths, tubs with no hot water, plumbing that is 'quaint' or worse, poor cooking, dirty utensils, maddening waits," Heinlein wrote in an article titled Inside Intourist .

Heinlein’s wife even studied Russian to prepare for the trip, but this turned out to be useless because they were “prisoners of Intourist, seeing only what they want you to see, hearing only what they want you to hear.” Heinlein calculated that for an ordinary American, a trip to see socialism in action in the USSR was extremely expensive—around $4,500 per month.

A guide must be politically well versed

Choosing the right people to work for Intourist was not an easy task. Guides had to have a university degree in linguistics and speak several languages, but in addition to this they had also to know what they could and could not talk about. A big part of this role was being able to competently point out the achievements of the Soviet system.

A former Intourist guide who worked for the company in the 1970-80s anonymously told Russian media that there were cases when young foreigners would sell Western items to Soviet citizens and then not know what to do with the rubles.

“Once, during a trip on the Trans-Siberian Railway, a group of students from the USA met a group of conscripts on the train and swapped clothes with them. The poor officer in charge of the conscripts was running up and down the train in search of an interpreter to make a reverse swap, and then locked his soldiers in a compartment so that they would not communicate with the tourists again.”

What were tourists shown?

As a rule, foreign tourists' trips to the Soviet Union started in Moscow or Leningrad, which had the country's biggest airports. The rest depended on the type of the trip they had chosen.

In the summer, Black Sea resorts were popular destinations. According to the TASS news agency, Crimea received some 4 million holidaymakers, including 30,600 foreign tourists from 40 countries, in 1968. The largest number of foreign visitors (8,200 people) came from West Germany, followed by the GDR (4,400), Czechoslovakia (3,500), Italy (3,100), and the United States (2,800). Two-thirds of foreign tourists arrived on cruise ships.

If foreign tourists visited the USSR in May or November, they were invariably taken to the demonstrations on May 1 or November 7.

Young fighters on the ideological front

Students and working youth, especially from socialist countries (East Germany, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, Cuba), made for one notable special category of tourists. In 1959, an international camp called Sputnik opened in Gurzuf (Crimea) where foreigners and Soviet citizens aged 18-35 could spend their vacations. By the end of the 1970s, 180,000 tourists, including 70,000 foreigners, had visited the camp.

Camps like these held a huge number of interesting events, ranging from meetings with Soviet athletes to discussions on global topics like disarmament. They also organized national days and, without fail, so-called “peace campfires.” Generally speaking, the focus was always on friendship between different countries and peoples. And, of course, there were excursions, hikes, and various sports competitions.

Not surprisingly, spots at Sputnik were allocated only to “ideologically fit” Soviet students and the best-performing workers. However, the camp administration noted in their reports that in the end vacationers all the same "showed political apathy, an inclination to informal communication with foreigners, spending all their time on the beach and a dissipated lifestyle.”

Dan & Lisa promised “Fun” and “Adventure”, they delivered! We loved the whale watching and beach stays, some of the roads not so much but at the end of the day we would not change a thing.

This past February I accompanied some fellow RVers to the tip of the Baja Peninsula and back and it would be difficult, in a few words, to give the accolades that the Baja Amigos tour provides.

Ray & Brenda Fair, Hopkinton, MA 2023

While researching companies offering caravans to Baja, we came upon an interesting comment.

1966 caravan of stars tour - summer edition.

No major talents in this show? Really? At the time, The Happenings had the #3 song in the country, Lou Christie's "Lightning Strikes Again" was a perennial #1 song artist, The Strangeloves had 4 top 40 hits within the previous 12 months including 3 top 20 songs, and The Capitols song, "Cool Jerk" was the #7 song in the country just a month before.
