Hi all

Does anyone on here own a Compass Echo 340/2?

We brought Betty from ebay and she's a 1986 model that needs a little TLC. We have never owned a caravan before and have a couple of questions if anyone can help please?

We have the large table that forms part of the bed base but isnt long enough to fill the gap? Is there something missing that makes up that gap?

We also need a new front window as we werent told and didnt notice that the outer perspex had been smashed out so it is only single glazed. Any ideas where we would be able to find a replacement window for such an old girl or can the window be repaired?

Any advice would be very much appreciated - Angie

You can get new windows made but it would probably cost as much as you paid for the caravan. Your best option is to find one at a breakers or just use as is if the window is otherwise ok.

As for the bed base, sort something out from a bit of plywood. Its what you do with an old caravan, as long as it works its ok.
