Hi have recently joined and thought I would introduce myself. I bought an old Elddis Tornado (1984 ish) with full awning earlier in the year and managed to get away in it a few times and am totally hooked on caravanning. Even the kids say I'm caravan mad! Managed to get the fridge running on gas, water pump, lights etc work so pleased at that. No EHU but just use the one for a tent works a treat.
Due to space restrictions I am towcarless at the moment but hope to get sorted in time for the Easter hols. Currently trying to update the caravan a bit, curtains done and in the middle of updating upholstery. Had a caravan repair man have a look at it but he wasn't much interested in doing anything to it apart from check the gas,he didn't appreciate old vans, said I should stick to something not older than 3 years old! Didn't listen to him though, in the new year hopefully will get someone else to take a look at the brakes etc. I'm willing to get my hands dirty and am going to redo all the seals.
Would be greatful for any advice, just don't tell me to get rid of it. I'm probably mad but on the whole it's in great nick and it would be a shame to get rid of it just because it looks dated.
Happy caravaning
