thanks Jim, normal is not how I felt for 7 days, I rarely get ill not seen a doctor in 20 odd years but by heck it pulled me down, very glad to be over it and back to "normal" so got a 300 mile round trip tomorrow to pick it up, silly thing is there was a nice 2 berth in Bexhill that looked good at about the same money but no shower, and was very tempted but original add said it was re advertised due to someone hitting bye it now when there were issues so he took it off an re presented it, then while I was looking at it he removed it again as said inaccurate description, glad I did not get involved, I am happy with what I have got, pics when I get it home, Rick

OK started the refurb

solarman216 · 06-04-2016, 21:35

internal ply rot, thought originally that I would remove the polystyrene and replace it with polyurethane but proved far to difficult to remove the polystyrene so just removed the wet ply

solarman216 · 06-04-2016, 21:43

floor damp under plastic film so peeled this up to let it dry out, and proved sound
