Folding Caravans

[Bwuttonmoon]

I have been doing odd jobs on the caravan... one was recovering the seat cushions. I couldnt find any fabric that was close so went for a complete clash. St michael purple 70s fabric

I thought it was time to resurrect this thread as I joined the folding clan this week.

1979 Confort.

Needs a good clean, some old carpet removing to reveal the lino, and the internal electrics checked.
But it was a bargain, came with fridge, awning, leisure battery and a full gas bottle.

Love it Wig. Check out the upholstery. :shock: It's so bad that it's good.

:lol:

Managed to erect the Rapido today and give it an air. Ripped out the damp and smelly carpet tiles to reveal the original lino.
One of the previous owners has cut the flooring when fitting the carpet tiles. Need to find a piece of neutral lino to fit in the centre section, and then the next job is to rip out the electrics and start again.

The previous owner has left me a drink.

1979 Confort, not the -Matic.
I don't suppose you've got a internal pic of your door lock handy?

What lock did you get?

I struggled to find one, bought one of a guy on ebay who was breaking a rapido

 

[sparkywig]

OK, ta.

I unfolded my other one yesterday just to have a look... apparently its quite rare as its not the small or large version but medium with extra cupboards and a wardrobe at the back.

That is seriously sweet.


Sent from my iLife4 suite of applications.
