Interior goodies should sell if I were to strip out for around £650/£750, but I would rather see it all go as one lump quickly.

Front - Still covered in winter muck, but its so cramped up I cannot get a hose to it. All taken earlier today.

Well not water, damp ingress. At the rear end due to people pulling on the handles at the rear. It breaks the water seals which then allows moisture to get in - never try to pull a caravan especially by the rear handles, they are just not designed for it

The front end had to be completely rebuilt from the front side windows forward. What you have to do is strip out the furniture from the entire area, take off the awning rails, remove all the lining boards then the damaged wood framing then then rebuild it. All done from the inside, fixing new frame back in place with the spaces of the insulation. Then finally new lining boards. Wood is cheap, so is lining board, the expense is just the time really. I've done a few.

They normally build caravan from the outside in, furniture first, then the walls, but repairs are done from the inside out. You work with the alloy shell in place. Furniture is screwed in place with the screws from the outside, so you have to cut them.

Harry, can I ask about the water system?

Does it have an onboard water tank and onboard hot water tank?

Thanks and it was collected last Thursday.

To answer Silkelsh's question - it had an on board 7L gas and / or electric water heater, but no on board cold storage.
