    What to look for when inspecting an old caravan??

    Hello, I am looking at an old caravan (1970's Abbey) this weekend, here is the Ebay link: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140461416561&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT I know absolutely nothing about caravans and although I will take a professional to look at it if I decide to buy...

    Wallpaper & flooring for Caravan

    Thanks so much, that helps enormously! I know absolutely nothing at all about caravans, on my initial inspection what should I be looking for? It's a 1970's barn stored Abbey.

    Which 4 berth? Vintage/Retro style!

    Wowee, loving the voyager vector, exactly what I'm after if only it was half the price! I also love the shape of the Eriba caravans but again a bit cost prohibitive, looking to spend up to £8000. I can't manage a project unless I could get a restoration company to do it for me which I guess...

    Which 4 berth? Vintage/Retro style!

    Hello! I'm thinking of making the switch from canvas to caravan for myself, my husband and our two children (5 & 6). But, my husband is NOT keen and will only consider it if it is a retro curvy looking caravan... I have absolutely no clue where to start! I drive a massive 4x4 so pretty sure tow...
