Here we go Guy, just for you...


Inside rear, through the door is a sink / bog to the left, a wardrobe infront and the shower to the right. (as your looking in)


Front of the caravan - Notice the laptop... you know I can't be far away!

Fits test at putting the Awning up at PVS last year (Stopped at Billing for a long weekend) - Also the White Vectra is my old car!  :)

Ready for the trip home!

And the back...

Wish it was as cheap as your van Guy  :'( esp now i've found bloody damp  :'(
Still be good for spring Yorkmeet. Look at it as a learning curve, you won't be fooled again. Meantime use it as often as you can until it falls apart....get your money's worth then either do it up & keep it or ebay it near the summer as a project.   
     If not let Jeremy Clarkson & Jaimie Boy fire assorted projectiles at it.
    To sum up, if it's not worth repairing, sell it on quick of just enjoy using it as it is for as long as you can.
   Third class caravan beats 1st class tent. :y
I'm sure I will get another year out of it Guy. And if it dries out, possibly longer? Who knows? I don’t know how fast they deteriorate once they start?

The floor is solid. As is 95% of the van actually...

However t'was still a bit of a bummer when I found the soft areas. I honestly dont think the seller was aware of the damp issues though. Guess its just a bit of bad luck - it does tend to follow me (Like when I bought the TD Elite on ebay and the waterpump fell to bits 100+ miles away from home! >:( >:( >:()

The Motor Home I have for next year is a fixed bed type, to be fair it is my Dad's but will be at the York Met with Myself and Miss Vamps. Caravans have an advantage in many ways, either way me and tents, well long time gone I think..... :D :D

I was never a fan of caravans, did'nt see the point & regarded the whole thing as sad until i wandered bleary eyed one sunday morning into Stuy117 (112?)'s van & the bug bit me, had to have one.
   I'm not a full blown caravanner going on holiday etc. but for OOF/Classic car meets it's so much easier than camping, no need to set up, you can plug everything in & you can be at home wherever you are.
     I never understood the appeal before but totally get it now. Great to lie in bed & watch Ray Mears doing it properly!!!!!! :y
