Hi, I have a 1982 Swift Pirouette caravan and unfortunately she is suffering from quite a bit of damp.  I purchased her last year and she was previously owen by an old couple, who left her outside for quite a while.  She is a lovely old girl with lots of room for myself and my son.  Does anyone have any drawing or information about the make-up of the outer and inner walls, I know she is timber framed and therefore the timber need replacing but I cannot get diagrams of any internal views.  The manual only shows basic repairs to the van but nothing of the internal wall make-up or how they are put together  Please help.!!!!!!

think all vans have the same basic makeup,if only we had manuals to tell us all we want to know???????,they dont seem to have that info anywhere so you just need to go on the wizards site and you will get a better idea of what and where,hope you can fix her up,theres loads of info on the structure sct of avns and pictures from the brave souls who have gone before you on the same quest,ggod luck a wee bit of know how and some diy knowledge and it will all work out
