Good attitude!!  And good job you know what you're doing - if it was us we wouldn't have a clue and be totally gutted!

Blimey - can it be saved?

Homebird

From your pictures i'd say it is saveable . Do it in small chunks at a time if possible , that way you'll see results quicker and this will spur you on .
Good luck and keep the pics coming .

well after careful thinking i have decided that this beast is not worth the bother so im going to get another caravan,the floor needs delaminating ? asits springy in places the front left rear and right sides on the inside need looking at as well and theres a piece of plastic missing from the rear window ,also the partition thats been built as been screwed into place from the outside of the caravan and has mass amounts of screws all over out side which is probbly the reason for all the damp and rot ,i think i will quite there while kinda ahead ,still got the carver 2 and other bits i can recycle on either ebay or here and the windows might sell shower side and cupbaords are all in good condition .

oh well move on to the next lol

That is so saveable (is that a word lol) our Bailey was like that and a bit more,but its not now,take your time do it as wizard says in sections,and before you know it bingo all done,dont give up sometimes you might want to but its worth it

good luck
