it came with full gas bottle, regulator, aqua rolls, porta potti, waste container even a full size awning with the extra bedroom for it the best news it was given to me for no charge completely free WOOOOHOOOOO
Now for the bad news the back of the van is damp and the wall panels need replacing also parts of the floor has delaminated few more pics
i found out that the roof vent at the back had absolutley no sealer on it at all just a bit of mastic obviously some bright spark for got it so heres my winter hobby and hopefully ill be out touring with you guys next year
well that's cool to get it free - worth a bit of money and time spent on it i would think!
congratulations! (sorry, haven't got a clue with helping on anything since i haven't even collected my own FIRST van yet!!) just wanted to say congrats!
Hi Hugs , the fixed it club members are always about on here , so if you have questions while your repairing your caravan ask away . Caravan damp repairs do seem daunting , but once you work out how they are put together you'll realise it's not to complicated , it's just a aluminium skin with wooden spars , polystyrene and wall board that make the main wall / ceiling structure . It will take time and lots of labour to repair , but the results will be worth it .
Good luck with the repair , and we'll be here when you need advice .
We had a caravan with similar problems. first my husband removed the back panel . the wood for the new back panel was quite cheap , we used white faced hard board. he then got some insulation board"silver" and lined the entire wall with this before replacing the panel . i made new covers for the chairs , i unpicked all the old covers to use as templates for the new, replace the foam if it smells a bit foist. i made new curtains and paint and grained all the wood work. the floor was ok so we just put down new carpet , the caravan which forgot to say was an old monza was lovely when we finished. we made a good profit when we sold it too. we have done 3 vans and its nice to see them back to their former glory.
another good insulation for walls is expanda foam .
