Caravan Project

Nearly done now... Here's a brief account of what's been done:- We noticed that the shelf along the front window was rotting, so my wife decided to put a hammer through it to have a look. Any way, there was a lot of damp in the left corner, so basically I started stripping back to find the extent of the problem. I stripped away the wallboard to expose the studding, only to find this had rotted too. So I removed the window seal and the rest of the wallboard, then removed the studding. Next I rebuilt the studding and built a new shelf, trying to keep the weight to a minimum to help with the noseweight. The shelf was fixed to the studding for extra bracing. I will be covering the shelf with vinyl tiles to match the kitchen area which needs to be re surfaced. All that needs doing now is to fit the new wallboard and it's all done. The leak came from behind the upper front marker lights, so I have resealed behind these with some flexi sealant. To see finished caravans from the fixed-it club, click on the link below. click here
