Thought you might like to see the new roof on my fc. It was done by Gerry Reynolds in Newmarket last November and this is the first chance we have had to put the canvas back on. Hope the pics work

The camper had been left up for months under a tree by the previous owner and the tree sap damaged the roof, it was covered in tiny holes. We bought it for a really good price, the new roof cost us £400 and it's a fantastic job.

We put the canvas back on today and had a good sort out of all the cupboards that I had just filled up with all the stuff from our old camper and I have now got loads of space for new camping stuff

The rest of the cabin is still grubby and the next nice day we will be washing it off with water and soft brushes and then a layer of seam sealer around the join

That's a really good job ! And 400 quid was the price of the repair ?
Hope it keeps you nice and dry when you do have a downpour Angela 89

Yes it was an exceptional ebay bargain - bit of a gamble really but we reckoned even if we had to buy a whole new cabin canvas it was still worth it. The awning looks as though it hasn't been used and the interior is spotless. We couldn't stop smiling when we were pottering about this afternoon

Ahhh I think it says Fiesta on side?!! So I am sure as black fox says you will notice a big difference!! We have a Countryman and in a few years (money and space allowing) we want to upgrade to a bigger unit.

Hi beanpark - we only paid £1200 for the camper so it's only cost us £1600 for a 2002 model ...bargain or what.

No the Fiesta in the background is not our old unit - we did have a Fiesta originally but bought a 1997 Pullman the year before last so we know what a difference it makes. We sold it for more than we paid for the new one even after taking the blown air heater out so we are feeling a bit smug.....is this my reward for the courier company losing our uninsured awning canvas last year? 

Yes Miserly, Kev's a lorry driver so he dropped the canvas off when he was passing through Newmarket and they couriered it back 3 weeks later for £15.

That 1991 Fiesta is going up for sale in the next few weeks.
