My 'new' caravan arrives tomorrow! Does anyone want to help plan it?

[KatyMac]

Straight to the workshop 😔

But that gives me time to plan it's inside

It is dual purpose, shop and living for marketa and festivals

So I need to keep the weight down to allow for stock but I'm a bit disabled so I need to think about ease of use as well as storage - so it'll be no problem sorting it all out 🙄

I'm prioritising these jobs first:

1. Check everything
2. Seal or replace the roof vent
3. Fix puncture/check ages of tyres (3)
4. Fix lighting
5. Fix battery/inverters/sockets/Hook up
6. Lock on the door

And I need to start thinking about my bed - maybe a murphy bed or something that folds up? Any ideas

My brother suggested a bench to sleep on with a section that lifts up for a small toilet.....hopefully at the foot end of my bed and only for emergencies!

So excited!

It took nearly 2 hours to set up this morning

And I am so knackered!

Thanks, I’m scared of clothes 😆

The more practice you have the quicker it’ll get and it’ll get easier and you won’t be so tired.

Finished it and wore it today

And despite pretty good coverage I got sunburnt

Looks good on you. Sorry to hear about the sunburn, not fun at all. Hope you had a good day though despite it.

Today was much better

Sold 2 items - sunburn is worse though I covered up

I wonder if the cotton is so thin it comes through

@ElGuardiandenoche

You’re doing pretty well with your finds though. I picked up a chemical toilet off my local FB camping and caravanning page for a fiver the other day. You gotta love Marketplace.

Oh! and I’ve just twigged your colours Doh!! Sorry I was a bit slow there. Probably put purple on the bottom though I’m not a 100% on that, I keep flip flopping #helpful 😆

Yeah, COOOL colours. . Love them posts! I’m with you.

I had flocks of 8-12 yo girls after clothes and I do baby things but not that age

Thinking cap on....pillowcase tops and full circle skirts maybe? Hmm how much?

Thanks @Zoorhik

I've just sold my tiny ancient 2 berth and looking to upgrade. Don't want anything too massive or heavy. Probably a 2 berth but open to a 4 berth. Just me and DP.

The important thing is that it has long bench sofas at the front so I can use as single beds if I don't want to make up the bed. DP is 6' 3".

My finances mean it's going to be from 2003 - 2008. An end bathroom would be nice so I don't have to stand in the shower tray whilst having a pee

Any ideas? Please share your caravan experiences.

Sorry this is supposed to be a new thread

@KatyMac, how’s everything going? Have you made any progress?

Good luck @PandoraRocks

No @ElGuardiandenoche the caravan man hurt his back so it still isn't ready!!

Maybe this week?

Ooooh!!! Noooooo!!! What a pain for you. Sorry to hear about your caravan man, hope he feels better soon.

I know poor man & he has 2 babies too!

Maybe Wednesday?

But its purple!

Ugh! Poor man indeed.

Purple sounds good to me, my favourite colour. Will you please show us some pictures?

Absolutely as soon as I have any!!

I look forward to it.

Not quite what you had in mind ?

🤣 Is that her in all her naked glory before she got her new clothes?

Nope that is today

I am getting a bit peeved

Ugh! I’m not surprised you’re a bit peeved, I think I’d be more than a bit

Close, very close

@ElGuardiandenoche

OMG! That colour is glorious. I love it 😍

It's a tiny bit pinker than I intended I hope it's the light or that it's not dry yet
