After a busy day elsewhere I managed to get some work done on the caravan. I stripped out the remaining wood, shower and sink units and managed to fill quite a few of the holes left by the removal of various pipes and leads. Those coach builders knew what they were doing. It was easy to follow their methods in reverse. The problem with these old caravans is that they were made for a time when campsites didn't have many facilities.The well intentioned shower and sink were fine back then but nobody wants to shower in a cupboard anymore right? So what we are left with now is a totally stripped out caravan. No plumbing, no electrics and one wall in a bit of a mess. The ceiling looks like a machine gun has gone off at random. The dilemma now is whether or not to block up the windows or remodel them into a different shape or possibly go for stained glass. There is an abundance of double glazing being thrown away so one or three of these units could do the job. Failing that I intend to make a custom window frame for each of the windows and glaze with some strong perspex. Just a few items left to dismantle and work can begin on tarting the old girl up or (Pimping My Caravan).
