Phase 1 removing the interior

Well despite the bad weather I have still been out with my father in law Terry to remove the interior surrounded by 5" of snow. We had the heater running and it was actually really warm as we managed to get 3/4 of the way through. There is not surprisingly quite a lot of damp behind the oak veneer. Still we remain unfazed and are ready to take on the challenge ahead.

Here you can see the damp around the window especially.We are keeping the polystyrene in for now to help reduce condensation.

 En suite facilities aren't quite up to standard yet!

My cover has just arrived as well but I am now having to wait until Betsy dries off before I can try it out for size...

Bringing Betsy Home

This is the day we collected Betsy with our VW camper 'Chester'. It was real slow going up the hills on the way back, not sure Chester was really up to the job!

My First Post

Here are a selection of images that were taken of the caravan on our first viewing. We loved the fact that she had lots of original features that we could restore and that the lovely curved cabinets were still in great condition. We also understand that there is lots of work ahead as there shows damp spots and areas where the wood has perished.
However she has a gorgeous curved shape and has tons more personality than the modern, white box caravans of today. She will be worth the time and energy we are putting into restore her.
