The last picture is my dog "Wilfred" looking guilty after going on my bed after I'd just washed him. Daft lad is like a giant sponge!

While it's not 100% sorted yet, here are the before and after pictures of the caravan I'm currently living in...

I wanted to give an update on how things are going for anyone who is interested. I've been living here for about 2 weeks now if memory serves and so far there has been very little drama. My habits have changed a lot since living in a small space. I was always fairly tidy but it's a necessity...

An update on this. Firstly, I had a brain fart and didn't realise that the pump I bought wouldn't fit through the hole. After christmas I'm going to do a bit of jiggery pokery to get it in there haha. After testing it outside in standing water though I'm pretty confident it's going to be more...

I have definitely considered asking if she would sell me this carvan. While I would like something a bit bigger I'm finding this size is a lot more liveable than first expected. The only real challenges are keeping the place clean due to living on a farm and having a rather large dog. If I was...

Thanks as always John. It was really easy to remove the bathroom sink and the problem became pretty obvious when I saw behind it. One of the tap seals has broken and has been dripping. and creating condensation within the whole area behind the sink. This has made it so the block connectors where...

Hi everyone, me again! I've been nearly 2 weeks living in this caravan now and I was expecting to find a few problems along the way. For the most part she's giving me absolutely no grief at all however yesterday I noticed that the water pump was on constantly. Does anyone know what the likely...

Technically not "away" but I will be in a caravan for Christmas :lol:

I've bought a compact submersible fish tank heater for £15. It's 150w so in a normal room temperature home it could comfortably heat 200litres of water to 34*c from my previous experience of keeping fish. Obviously it's going to be much more of a challenge outside so it's very much a case of...

Thanks again everyone for the kind words and advice. I won't personally be using the heater as I have EHU however I'd like to return this caravan to my sister as something she could use rather than just a glorified tent on wheels haha, Prior to me taking it on absolutely nothing worked and it...

Big thanks for that. I managed to get the whole front cover off (with a little persuasion) which revealed that a long rod which attached to the ignitor had come loose and fallen down in to the unit. I've fitted it again in its rightful spot and it works. I've managed to get it to ignite so now...

Hi everyone. The only thing I've not got working in my caravan is the blown air heater. I suspect this is down to me now knowing how it works rather than it being broken but I can't for the life of me find any information online. Everything else I've been able to find and identify through google...

I'll try and keep this thread updated, warts and all to try to give a realistic portrayal. I'm not sure if your situation would be voluntary or not but if it isn't then know there's plenty of hope if you have the right attitude. Best of luck
