Went to check the van out the weekend, 94 Avondale Pealr Orion in storage. The second i open the door i see a chewed seat cover

You guessed it, mice! Poo all over the place though no sign of the culprits.

Now the bottom line is this, i want to sell the van (planned emigration), but the cushions are a mess and it could do with new curtains. Given the age of the van i have a problem with splashing cica £500 on new covers etc just to meet up with the time wasters i found last time i sold a van.

Anyone know of someone who can replace the covers cheaply in staffordshire / west midlands? And once fixed up whats the best way of advertising the van so as to avoide the time wasters and canvesers?

Can you tell i'm not looking forward to this upcomming episode?

We had a similar problem last year, but ours was an 8 month old van so we paid the manufacturer to recover the damaged cushion. Be careful though, just because you can't see them doesn't mean that they've gone as they are experts at hiding at the first sound of someone approaching. Get some mousetraps down with chocolate on them, we caught 2 in ours!

Why don't you just be honest, and advertise it with 'damaged' cushions - then whoever buys it can have it reupholstered to their taste, and at their expense.  It may actually encourage buyers who really want to buy, rather than canvassers and the curious!
