Hello kev :y I think as long as its pinned enough it should be ok ..possibly slightly heavier than plywood but there's not much to re-cover :y All the old wood has been ripped out and replaced now and original timbers treated // all seams sealed :y

just a note on moving stuff around and adding stuff don't forget its original design and weight distribution,you don't want something unstable on the road :y

Yes thanks for that , im going to be making a sink cabinet and drainer with the water storage on the opposite side to the changed bathroom so should even itself out ;) If anything the caravan will be lighter as the old gas fire / gas-electric fridge and gas cooker have all be removed and wont be going back in :y

Why would you do that? that is the advantage of a caravan, having a fridge, cooker and fire, not to mention a shower............. ::) ::)

Well mr vamp it will basically be a tin tent ::) There will be :
A bed
An eating area with table
A bathroom with sink and toilet
A kitchen sink and cuoboards
I will be using a potable table mount gas cooker in the kitchen area and buying a small beer fridge to put milk/butter in and no beer ::) So it will be self sufficient enough for a brew , something to eat and a place to wash pee and sleep ;)
Oh and an electric fire .. not that ill be needing it much in summer hopefully .
