Well, at 5pm yesturday, i started to pull the caravan to bits, just After Poppy and I had sorted through it all, cleaned it all out, and got all my junk out... She wasn't too happy actually, as it had taken us all day.
What was bothering me the most, is that the walls, from about 3` high were soft and soggy on the side where our fridge fastens to the wall, and one of the bench seats, so as you can imagine, the fridge AND bench seat were coming away from the wall... Oh yeah, and we're off down south on a 7 hour drive in 11 weeks :(
So i thought to myself i MUST have a look and see if i can get this done.
Oh no, i nearly cried, as i was taking bits off and it's getting worse and worse :( The shape around the wheel arch WAS a solid piece of wood, which just dropped to pieces!
Can i do this?
What do i do now?
Give me a spanner or some wire, and i'm fine, give me some wood, and i'm not that good!
Will post some more pics shortly.
HELP!

Bob, Much easier than i thought to be honest, it's just common sense - I would volunteer to help anyone, any time.
Wiz: Already rebuilt the wheel arch surround and sealed it up too, it was wet through, but no wonder, as it was never sealed from the factory, like the middle rail. The bottom rail is a right PAIN to inspect, as is stapled on underneath the van so I've dried it out, sealed it, and put some foam down... The bench seats will be no probs, as i've put some lengths of wood in the wall to strengthen things up, and joined some down-posts to fasten the seats to afterwards...
Just ordered some 2-part adhesive to affix the wallboards too ;)
Don't worry, i'll be onto you for some advice when i get to the hard parts!
