Insulation


Didn't have much time to pimp the caravan yesterday. I did manage to get out and purchase some bits. I was toying with insulation boards but settled on rolls of foil insulation. These will be stapled to what is left of the old boards. After further investigation I found a few holes in the fibreglass panels at the rear of the caravan. These have now been rebuilt using fibreglass sheets and resin. I also coated the old walls with some damp back paint. All I have to do now is get rid of all the old rivets holding the old furniture panels together. Next stage will be to use thin ply to cover the insulation. Then a coat of wallpaper over that.

Expanding Foam The Panacea For All Ills


What do you do with a stripped out caravan full of holes? O.K. Keep it clean.... You get a can of expanding foam and unleash hell. I don't think I could face seeing another 1970's laminated cupboard. It has all been recycled and should now make a nice dining table for the next Prime Minister. The next stage is one of thought. I have to work out how to best waterproof the walls and how to redesign the windows. The floor also has to be upgraded. Any thoughts, photos or tips welcome. Perhaps I should go for a themed look. Make it look like an army tank or a pirate ship or something else, which takes away that 1970's paint job. Maybe turf the roof or throw a camouflage net over it. Whatever I choose, it will appear here. Thanks for viewing.
