Excellent, thank you. Just had a look, can't help but feel slightly panicked 😂

my favourite tools for working on the caravan were
a belt sander for taking off damp wood that wasn't coming away from scraping. a hand tile remover similar to a scraper but much better, an electric multitool and a set of chisels.

the tile remover was by far the most helpful tool particularly for removing wallboard and staples. £6 bandm

Any photos on your progress mate be very helpful as I'm about to rip a van I've had cheap apart and completely rebuild her hopefully with help from you guys on this site

Hi Marky.

Unfortunately, a combination of shifts at work and the rubbish weather means that I haven't done anything on the van lately. I'll update on here when I get going again.

Good luck with yours - do plenty of reading on here and on wizard's site.
