Hi,

Can anyone tell me what  to use to touch up the paint on the van? We have a very small scratch on the van about 5inches long and 1mm wide and I want to get something to touch it up with but not sure what is best to buy.

Also the front of the van is very dull and I want to try and polish it - any recommendations at all? Sorry if they are basic questions we're new to caravanning so putting van away for first winter :o(

Thanks for your help

Hi Michael and thanks for you good wishes. 

Fingers crossed, we have found another caravan, a newer model than what we had -1995!!, but I guess somewhere along the way we might have problems with replacement and repairs, fingers crossed we dont.  We are hoping to replace our old caravan (which I loved), with a Abbey GTS 212, been and took a look at her several times and know the dealers well, she seems in good condition (no damp, etc), and actually got central heating .. which is good, cos were hoping to use this "new" one at Christmas. 

Happy Christmas and All the Best for 2009
