well here we go ,i'm a tent camper and desperate to go in to caravaning we love going away for weekends and finding the tent a little long in the tooth to put up these days ,i suppose we could down size the tent just for weekends but i realy do NEED a caravan,i have bad knees and that kneeling down knocking pegs in and such like as realy but the strain on the last two weeks away.so my questions are have any of you done an old van up from rip state and if so would love to see piccy's . i might have a chance of a vertually free van but needs some loving care ,i would love to refurb it and the hubby is a joiner so with help from you guys im sure would be a good winter project,just need to convince dh .i do however have to check the weight of the van as our car is a v astra estate 1.6 and will only pull upto 1100 so thats the next step,i have been looking on evil bay for spares and there seams to be plenty around.thanx and as i say would love to see piccys.
oo, Ill have to hunt the pics of my monza out, that was a bit of a shed when I bought it, a bit of TLC, pained the inside, new upholstry, curtains, a re-wire both 240 and 12V, new gas pipes, she was a great little van, only paid £195 for her, sold her for £300 2 years later.
Amazing family weekend with old steam engines, classic car displays, market stalls, and full catering and bar. And camping on site - Save £25 by booking in advance.
