Abi Monza 3.60D Deluxe Caravan

[Banshee]

Just got back in it again after work, how nice it is to get home and see what I'm doing in daylight without having to put a LED head torch on They are only going to get lighter too, so get those projects on the go boys :naughty

I'm really happy that I went for a light colour on the paint, going to crack on with some more painting this evening

You will find the "Throw out Corner" in Ikea is your friend when doing modifications to the caravan. A lot of their cabinet shelves are light weight, with hollow cores, ideal for making shelves in the caravan, and the backs of their wardrobes, which are 2x 8ft, x 2ft, 3mm MDF, folded in half lengthways, so basically 8ft x 4ft, sell for £2.

Good tip, the egg box type interiors are really tough, lightweight, but keep away from damp and coffee spills, if a coffee cup is placed on top, with a wet ring...it soon damages the surface.

Good point, I did not think about that, as I normally cover it in sticky back vinyl, to get it to match the caravan wood work.

Welcome to the ABI club mate, Ive got a 1988 Globetrotter 4 berth which was suffering from a damp rear end. One refit later and its the best thing ever for getting away. Will have to meet up for a laning trip / holiday .

A tip from me is put a couple of these sort of things in, especially if your working in it in the cold weather mate, and prop fridge and freezer doors open :thumbs

I'm going to be going out in mine as soon as it's done :thumb2

Hopefully should be taking it laning when we're out in Shropshire again soon.

I've got a bit pee'd off today with the caravan and feel like I've gone backwards rather than forwards

Put some chocks under the wheels mate :thumbs

I decided that I wasn't doing a propper job and wanted to do a floor up re-build from the start, so today I decided to rip out all of the cupboards and interior.

They will all be sanded down and painted, also giving me room to paint the walls and ceiling better.

Then I uncovered the wiring, feel like I want to fit all this in some sort of enclosure? Whilst I have access to the wiring and the floor I'm going to install some new power sockets with built in USB etc etc

Going to get the heater tested too before I use it, didn't realise that the Electrlux fridge works off te gas too so that will also need to be done :thumbs

All units out

 

[Blocky10]

Holy cow mate. I've nothing more to add

 

[terranosaurusdoug]

Errrrr

 

[elty001]

Best way to go,rip it out and start again!!!

 

[terranosaurusdoug]

It will add value to it for sure, plenty of pics to show a potential buyer mate :thumb2
