Hi all, expanding foam......hhmmm good idea if you know the rate that it will expand too, not saying it wont work but just got to be careful thats all as it could swell the floor if to much is pumped in. The delamination kit is available from most good caravan outlets, I did it from the inside...

Hi all, Has anyone stayed at Rosneath in Argyleshire? if so whats it like? OK I hope as we have booked in for the 1st Nov !!! Cheers Jim.

Hi all, I went all out and had the interior retrimed, i.e cushions re-sprung, re-foamed and re-covered in an up to date fabric. Also had all new curtains and padded pelmets rather than the frilly ones, all this was done by a firm locally who specialize in caravan and motorhome retrims. They...

Had a look round this site the other week, it was nice and clean with a good layout but remember ther isnt a bar on site. I usually go to the Callow top site which I have always found exellent (also at Ashbourne) Jim.

Hi Clive, Even new vans will have damp readings....does this mean you would walk away from it??? The thing about damp is where and how much and is it classed as damp. Read some of the other treads about damp an damp meters Cheers Jim.

Hi all, It may suprise you but you will get damp meter readings in ALL vans....yes new ones as well. The crunch time comes when you find where it is and the percentage reading. New vans can have 20% readings and it is considered by the manufactures to be ok. I tested a floor on a 1995 van the...

Hi all, I want to look at a 95 van the other day and I took my danp tester with me, I was picking up a reading on the flooring at the front of the van. At this point the manager came along and we had a chat about damp allowances apparently a new van can have some where in the reagion of a 20%...

Hi all, After my thetford toilet stopped pumping and I had checked the fuses and the micro switches I decided to have a look at the pump......yuk the tank had a layer of algae in it and this was the problem with the pump i.e gundged up. So the question is.....is there a treatment out there to...

Hi all, While the info may be of value I cant for the life of me see why you would want to restore that van??? A 1985 van with

Hi mark, Sorry cant comment on the underside method, but ask yourself/wife do we need a new carpet to freshen the interior up? if you do (like I did) then go for the method that I used. Cheers Jim.

Hi all, As you know I was undertaking a repair on a delam floor, the area was just under a square meter in a heavily used area of the van. I took the carpet up as we wanted to replace that anyway and drilled 10mm holes through the top layer in a matrix of about 15cms apart. Ok now for the messy...

P.S do the whole affected area in one go. Jim.

Hi all, Thats right Gill you only have to do the area which has delaminated, if you tried to inject the resin into an area of the floor which was ok it wouldnt go anywhere as the layers are still intacked. So to put it in a nut shell, check your floor for spring and then only drill and fill...

Hi all again!! I have just got off the phone with Lowdam Caravans,They have the delamination kits in stock for

Hi all, I got a e-mail back from Apollo Chemicals today, I had asked them about coverage and this is there reply:- The product covers 4 meters squared per litre at 1/4mm thick. However, the thickness that is required is unknown. Usually, 1 square meter coverage is achieved out of a kit, so one...
