Evening all,
We've taken the rather bold step into owning a caravan.
I know nothing about caravans, but my wife bought a second hand one this week off Facebook on a whim. We need to start caravanning she said.
It's a Sprite Europa 500 L. It's been sitting for a year on a campsite, and looks like crap. Good price though.
Initial inspection was it didn't smell damp, but we noticed some ingress from a damaged nearside kerb outside panel on further inspection after buying. The undersides, chassis and most of the shell look ok, and the damp interior panels seem to be salvageable and not too widespread . One spot, nearside front. That's it.
Hopefully shouldn't be too much to fix, and will post some pics asking for advice once we get over to it again tomorrow.
Will post a few more pics tomorrow and requests for advice once we start getting our hands dirty.
Cheers,
