I have a few Qs, thought I’d ask on here as well as other avenues of research 🙂

airstream?

Sadly not, a crappy old Mardon 🙂

Patching it up until we get our dream wagon:

I repaired a damp corner in one a few years ago but I am not an expert by any means.

There is a chap called Wizard, over on UKCampsite. He is a font of knowledge on repairs.

I made some choice improvements to our old caravan. Bought it for £800. Blinds were a start. Cassette blinds would have been about twice what I paid for the caravan. So in went plain black-out blinds from Argos. For about £60. A couple of curtain wires took care of the sloping front windows. New carpet made a huge improvement. Transformed it to be honest. The floor had de-laminated in one spot. Thought about the injection kits, but in the end I boarded it out in 1/2″ ply. I did some work on the electrics, added some sockets etc. Sold it as a Buy-It-Now on Ebay a couple of years later, for £1700. Could have sold it 5 times over. Chap drove 200 miles to collect.Abbey

Check-out UKCS, there’s some good stuff on there, photos of restorations/repairs that folk have done etc.
