The Caravan Reno Completed

Well we have finally finished the internal redo of the caravan - what a journey!  Its unbelievable to look at the before and after photos and realise just how much we have done.  I love it,  Mal's not totally convinced (he keeps saying he likes brand new) but I think it feels new as its so fresh and clean.  I bet you once we are out in her relaxing by the beach he will be sold, especially when she is so much easier to tow and move around than the monster Jayco we had.

We ended up having to replace a panel of wood internally as it was leaking on the wall behind the sink - we finally found where it was coming from and bogged it all up.  Otherwise no other major problems at all.

Mal has done a lot of work getting the electrics all sorted internally and replacing the old cruddy fittings with brand new ones.  He has to get the outside electrics fully sorted now and we have a guy from Mals work coming to do the wheel bearings and check the brakes out for us.  All thats left then is to organise to have the gas tested and she is totally done.  We are aiming to take her out on her maiden voyage in a couple of weeks for a long weekend and head to Esperance....ahh the beach....we plan on staying in the motorcamp we were in when we were there last so we can plug in so won't have to worry about the gas or sorting out our free camping stuff straight away.
