My big fat gypsy caravan

(RIP) PLANK · 22-06-2010, 22:19

I have recently bought (just for fun) a big old Buccaneer caravan, a bit fo a mid life crisis thing i suppose to remind me of my youth. Though bear in mind the last time i toured and lived on one was only about 8 years ago.

it needs a lot of fixing and tarting up, notably uphlostery, carpets blinds etc. oh, and some misguided soul has added a sink and water pump at some time so they have to go! But my initial intention is just quick fix lash up to make it usable unit the end of the summer then work on it at my leisure.

as you know these things are 8 feet wide and this one has 36 hand cut mirrors more than i have seen in one of these before and a wood burner.

it has already had bearings brakes, including shoes cables etc replaced so is towable.

do any members have any suggestions or ideas for the rest of the project?
