Hi I am new to caravaning I just got myself an abi ace pioneer jubilee 4 berth as a project to do over the winter for us to use in the summer
Not sure of the year is there anyway of finding out the year of the van
The lady I bought it from said that she thinks it's an early nineties van
I've got a bit of damp to deal with and a broken window
Would anyone have a handbook for one and also the carver cascade mk 2 water heater / the trauma sb1800 gas fire / and the 3 way fridge that they could email me or I could buy

Any help would be greatly appreciated
Many thanks in advance Neil

dought you will find a book,you can buy for £15 a manual from john wickersham this covers most caravan fittings past and present.
for water heater a fire instructions look on garys site at the bottom.
arc systems.double check tyres if its been stood for some time.tyres over 5 years should be replaced anyway.

Thank you Michael I have ordered the caravan manual from Amazon a used book for £7.00
The van was in constant use every year it had only sat for about 3 weeks this year when the owner had bought a new van and they had brand new tyres fitted last year so tyres are ok
There is no damp smell in the van at all but the bathroom wall is soft and som silicone seals have perished
Tree is also damp on the on the opposite wall behind the seat cushions but no higher and they have put silicone over the outside rails so need to do some investigations into what's going on but apart from that the van is in great condition
Once again thank you for your help

your welcome  buy a cheap damp meter and you will have a better indication of the damp areas.do not use silicone sealer.buy sikaflex.
