You want a van. You need a project. You’ve thought about this forever. You just don’t know where to start. And you’re not sure if it’s worth it.   I can relate to that.   As a brief introduction to this blog, I want to tell you that I am in no way experienced, knowledgeable or a self-claimed professional. I didn’t know anything about cars and the last time I used a saw was in year 8 woodwork class. I’m a 26 year old ski instructor wit...

There are lots of pictures and videos online but almost no-one seems to tackle the bathroom or show what they have done there. It was the worst part of the caravan but the hardest part to change. I am showing this as if I did it in isolation but of course I did it in line with the rest of the renovation.    This was the ‘before’     The loo worked fine but the...
