New interior decisions

[holeydub]

Hey guys, so I'm a bit of a dilema I've been thinking of restoring my current westy campmobile interior but after looking further and the wardrobe and noticing it would need to be completely replaced should I bite the bullet and go for a nice SJH oak interior?

Then should I go for the window line type or a replacement campmobile style one?

Sorry, can't really help you because the choices are wide and everyone's taste is individual.

I would recommend looking at as many as possible before deciding which one suits your needs best.

I would save the campmobile stuff everytime. I good joiner will be able to do wonders.

These were my thoughts exactly but I am more worried that changing it all together would reduce its value as its less original

What he says ^^^^^^^ original for me too. There isn't much that can't be salvaged interior wise...... Spend your money on a good joiner if you haven't got the skills yourself. Westy interiors are about as good as it gets.

They take a bit of looking for, but Westy interior cabinets are usually possible to find second hand. If your wardrobe is toast then simply replace it.

I'd always go OG.

Can you not use the originals as patterns then reproduce them?

Worked wonders for my eriba interior

Plus one for originality unless it's totally past it ('IMHO', of course...)

Plus I would imagine an Oak one would be mighty heavy?

The oak one is basically just vaneer with a few solid doors, it is really nice but I was actually planning on relaminating the original ply and giving it a refresh before looking into this I just thought rather than spending the time doing it I could have something a little more different with minimal work...

It's a hard decision coz I really like the wood interiors that are in some splits like the sundials but I also like the earlier cherry coloured westy's

Good to see the consensus is originality though

To tell the truth it's totally upto you, and what works with you. I had an original westy interior, sold it and got interior that suited our needs. I didn't think of resale value as I have no intention of selling, I changed it because when we went camping it didn't quite work for us so we made our way.

That's not a bad idea, I'll restore the westy interior use it and if it doesn't suit I can look at changing it for a more functional version
