Our caravan renovation


Over the last few months I have looked at our van and thought(dangerous) it is looking rather tired (14 years old).

So it is happening. We have just pulled the vinyl of the floor, thanks to my hair dryer, which nearly was sent to the op shop as dont use it very often.

 

Some of the film has lifted but we are going to put down some feather coat to smooth it out.

Next comes the Knight yinyl floor planks to be laid.

Time to paint, well a change is always good so undercoat is the next leg of the journey, followed by the top coat.

O the curtains need to be replaced so that is the next job, out with the sewing machine.

 

New fabric for the lounge area,which is to be decided within the next few days.

New handles,and viola all will be finished.

Thank god Rod is a builder and can do all these things, I am the roustabout working on top of him as there aren't much room.

Version 33, we are shorting the lounge L shape  and putting in some pull out cupboards.

Presently are animal sitting in Tamworth and are really lucky they have a granny flat that we can sleep in.

We are still good mates, as this point of time, lets see when we have finished.

I think renovation is in out blood as we were kept busy before hitting the road 2 years ago.

 

Life is damn good and wouldnt swap if even for a reno.

Sue you crack me up, I am really sorry but I had to put a comment to your posting. I am sure your Van will look very lovely when you have finished it all, however, there is just one thing.

If you were not on top of Rod and let me do his caravan work I am sure it will all get done a lot quicker.!!!!!!!!!!!!!
