Hi everyone we have a 1984 abi award twinstar which needs renovated, we have been trying to find information on the old twinstar on Google but have had no luck. Are these rare caravans ?
What information are you looking for? We've just Googled it and found a brochure with the specs straightaway. If you need information on the individual appliances a quick Google should find instructions and specs. For help on repairs etc have a look at the caravan repairs forum where you'll find lots of help and advice on everything imaginable.
We have found the brochure but haven't seen any for sale or any owner pics etc. The one we got was left in our field next to house and after some investigating we bought it. We are looking to renovate it and sell to good home.
You won't find many 32 year old caravans about so they are fairly rare.
It sounds like this caravan may have not been used or serviced for some while so I would start by getting a mobile caravan mechanic to carry out a pre purchase type inspection of it and damp check it to give you an idea of what needs doing to make it safe and useable before you start making it look prettier. It will almost certainly need new tyres and gas hose as well as a full service and you need to work out how much it will cost and what it will be worth when finished. The renovation cost is often greater than the value of the caravan when it's finished.
Thanks for that we are actually buying old caravans and renovating and selling them on so that people can get into the caravan scene and so that the old vans keep on living. We have just completed an elddis wisp 300/2 which was sold to someone looking for first lightweight caravan. On this one all hoses and damp walls will be replaced and any faults will be fixed then hopefully it will be sold to a loving family. We just can't find any owner info or ones for sale.
Hi, old post but I had one of these and sold it 3 years ago. We did a full restoration on it and I have copies of all the manuals and restoration photos etc. Great caravan, very rare and towed really well. In fact, if I found another one i'd buy it!
