Thank you Grove Family! :-)

I was inspired by this blogger (and many others in my looooong pinterest browsing!)

https://www.thetwinklediaries.co.uk/136-weeks-and-6-days-a-caravan-makeover-with-w........

She wrote her wallpapering was a great success so it's inspired me to try. I think just adding some wallpaper to certain areas will break up the orange wood. I'm planning to use heavy duty paste tho.

I did think about the vinyl sticky, but I didn't see anything I liked in B&Q, so it's interesting to see the link because there are more on the website. So thanks for that.

I LOVE adding new bits to the camper. I'm currently in a mind to change the wardrobe and add shelves with pull out wicker baskets.....I successfully put in 5 plastic drawer units (as someone suggested on another thread) but the units are a bit old and some of the drawers stick. I might even take the door off the wardrobe and make a feature of the shelves and baskets...but I'm not sure yet.

I'll update when I do it. x

we are putting the plastic shelves in to the wardrobe next time its up. my only concern with taking the door off would be bits falling out when its down and away! but if the boxes were more fitted it would be fine.
In regards to the vinyl thingy, ebay have got a load of people selling it. every colour you could thing of!haha.

I use my wardrobe for food pantry so everything gets taken out and only soft stuff gets put in for storage.
It won't fall out because the side of the wardrobe (where the caravan door is) is the side that goes on the floor. The wardrobe door is on the side in transit. Things might slide to one side, but not slide out completely.

Hello Grove Family, we used that vinyl on our camper, worked a treat. When we went away last week, I also used their vinyl chalkboard on the fridge to break the wood effect up....

Just take your time applying the vinyl, working the air bubbles out. The good thing is that you can carefully pull it back if there are any issues.

No problem with wear n tear, the vinyl seems pretty tough. Even so a roll is only £5 so can always peel off and recover, if ever necessary!

Have you ever heard of a Ramoska?? If you tend to use EHU, a Ramoska will extend the life of your Pullman.
It's basically a portable oven which is the size of a pressure cooker but half the height. It uses low electricity and they're great for camping.

I love mine, you can make everything you would cook in a conventional oven. My fav recipe is cornish pasties, they cook beautifully in the Ramoska. You'll have to google it, but i recommend. :-)

looks great that, thanks.

we have what looks like a flatter version from b and m for a tenner on offer, and it cooks breakfasts, meat, chops, burgers and stuff great. but i think she wants to cook roast dinners or something... (not really getting into that conversation, i will lose)

i`ve fired that over to her and i`ll wait for the money to vanish out of my bank..
