I don't know weather jays mrs will appreciate it, but I can't help but wonder if I can borrow it for me and my missus? My last caravan holiday must have been a 'no'

Thought its time for an update

Been a lot of work since the last update so here goes..

Gas has all been plumbed in and tested and all works great, apart from the water heater that I fitted last weekend which seams to have a faulty control box

All cold water and hot water is plumbed in

Bought a roll of material to re cover the cushions but for now it has two big throws over the cushions

All holes have been repaired and damp in the kitchen has been repaired

All walls have been repainted and some wood effect Lino put down on the floor...

All new lighting fitted

New front window fitted

Just bought shower tray and shower room kit with sink etc to fit

Here are some pics...

Next weekend is the first outing so got a fair bit if work to get done by then, should be able to get it done by then, also bought a alko stabiliser hitch to go on it so that should help make it a bit safer when towing, just it to make sure it's loaded evenly

In the process of making new covers for the cushions, 3 left to do now and made two big round cushions that just need a teal version of the material used on the main cushions..

Been busy again today...

Fitted the alko hitch so it's now ready to tow again

Green vinyl stripe on all around the caravan, new water heater control unit fitted and now the heater works

Gas locker just needs a final smoothing off and it can then be painted, I have something a bit "chavtastic" as people would say on here planned for the gas locker, here are some pics of today's progress...

The start of the chavtastic idea for the gas locker, hopefully it'll hide the filler over the huge hole that was in it..

So it's all loaded up and ready to tow to Ruthin, North Wales on Friday, just waiting on some new arches off fleabay to go on it...

Brilliant, I saw you uploaded the pictures to Facebook too, I had to restrain myself from commenting and mentioning Anal Rallye, I thought your mrs's mother may not appreciate it! But since we are on the forum in the quiet I hope it lives up to its name and doesn't disappoint!
