Former Block contestants Michael and Carlene sell Bumblebee, their vintage caravan
Title TattleApril 8, 2019

The former The Block contestants Michael and Carlene Duffy have secured the sale of their latest project — a vintage caravan dubbed Bumblebee.

It sold prior to its recent Ray White auction for $24,000.

Apparently, a few years back they ditched their damp tent camping instead to buy some wheels.

The experienced renovators and designers have now renovated four vintage caravans.

Found on Gumtree, Bumblebee is a 3.6m-long renovated vintage Franklin caravan with single axle.

There are rattan and oak cabinets and an on-board water system.

The dining table converts to a bed.

The husband and wife team were contestants on the Melbourne series of The Block Glasshouse in 2014 when they made just $10,000 profit, well behind brothers Simon and Shannon Vos on $435,000.

The couple ­remain on the Gold Coast in the semi-rural Tallebudgera. They were 27 when they purchased the home which is still a project nine years on.

The duo who run Cedar + Suede, a home design and construction service, are hosts of home renovation and lifestyle shows, Ready Set Reno and Open Homes Australia.
