Hi plasticnut, looks like you have done a great job! I brought my Jetstream last year knowing that at some point when funds allowed I would have to replace the roof and wall lining. With your re-lining did you use any insulation underneath or did you just affix the carpet straight to the fibre glass? Also how did you attach the additional bracing to the walls?

Hi, I didn't use any insulation as the carpet has a thin rubber backing.I fixed the carpet straight to the fiberglass using heavy duty spray adhesive which i bought of ebay, a lot cheaper than buying from diy stores.For relining all the Freedom I got 6 cans.
for the bracing I drilled from inside the cupboards (beneath)where I put the wood and above so the wood isn't attached to the fiberglass at all.
The carpet cost just under £4 a metre and I used 4x4 metres
Hope info helps
