My sisters GT60 Ranger caravan looked like it was hitched up properly - to cut a long story short, it really wasn't and it decided it would have a fight with the railings outside her house (the caravan lost!). It is an easy error to make apparently.
She has had a few quotes from caravan repairers, one has suggested the caravan is a total loss.
I have a boat (I write for Practical Boat Owner!
), and with this kind of repair of a boat, especially when getting trades in to complete the work makes it cost prohibitive, we make do and fix it ourselves.
Does anyone have any write ups on a repair this extensive? Clearly there is some damage here to the softwood frame and the plastic (glass fibre?) shell. My sisters husband is a carpenter, she he is handy with fixing things. Would there be any ramifications for getting the caravan "licensed" (if there is such a thing?) with a DIY fix? It wouldn't need to be perfect, just safe and tidy enough to keep caravanning.
Thanks for your help!
