Right you guys, I'd make a cup of tea before you read this as it's probs going to be a long one
I've been given a Caravan for not a lot of money and yes I know at the moment it looks like a bag of nails and that's why I've come to you guys to put me on the right track, am i right in thinking I could get this cleaned up and in a decent condition to take Caravanning or do I need to open my eyes and get shot of it or possibly break it for parts
It's a Compass Commodore 340 "Rallye"
All the electrics work and as far as I can see this is all I need to do to get it respectable;
New Large front window - There is a large hole through both layers
New wheel for jockey Wheel
Two new tyres
Repair few gashes and dents to body - Expandable foam and body filler?
I was then going to jetwash it down, remove all trim and was going to paint it Green
New carpet inside, remove all cupboards and panels
Steam clean inside, re-paint and re-fit all panels and cupboards
All I need then is some new cushions, curtains etc and a portable toilet etc
Obviously as you become more serious I presume you will use more and more serious on Tin Tenting you'll want more and more luxuries and I may want to get rid of it and upgrade
What do you think guys?
Should I take a punt or should I open my eyes and get rid? Even If I stripped the body off it I could see the chassis being used for a trailer maybe?
