Hi All,

Have just bought myself a  1996 Freedom caravan and some previous owner has put screws into the sides (I know not what for - possibly to string a washing line) and these I find annoying. If I remove the screws what would be the best filler to use. They are too small to warrant a fibre mat of any kind.

I will no doubt be back with lots of other questions - but does anyone have a Freedom Prima Handbook - Freedom website is not very useful and I do not have any specifications on anything.

Reluctant move from tent to caravan due to finding tent difficult with old age problems!

I had that problem.

I used self adhesive reflectors.

Some good suggestions there. I used to have a Microlite Prima about that age. Is it 3 berth? I don't have a handbook, IIRC the one that came with it wasn't very informative. The body hasn't changed at all so the dimensions and weights of current models as shown on the website for the Microlite are the same as yours will be:

They are cute little vans, I loved mine but sadly had to get something bigger as son grew too tall for comfort in it.

Thanks to all of you for replies. Alan 126 hadn't thought about Milliput have used it many years ago. Will be interested to hear what your mate has to advise.

Not aerial holes Michael - all on the side of the van and one each end. But worst of all are some ugly metal bracket - two to the left of the door at the base line and one to the left of the door at the top. Goodness knows what these were ever used for but they have mastic round and over them and I now see they have been pot rivetted I think so I may have to live with them as I would be reluctant to get someone to cut them off for me.

Thanks bordercaz - most useful and I suspect I shall be asking you a lot more questions! (it's a two berth by the way - just ideal for me and my Border Terrier!

We have jest been to get our freedom microlite 200 sport.

Small and cool loll, lite to tow so no wasted mpg , I towed it up the M40 M5 M6 A55 at 50 to 60 mph at 57 mpg behind our Citroen C4 hdi 1600 the smaller version .

It towed with no probs infact I was impressed more per mile we traveld, can not waite to finish the work needed on it and go go hidehi lol

Thought maybe you have found a few holes in your new van as you've resurrected this thread?

On the advice of Alan 126 I used Milliput and this worked a treat.

My roof lining had just started to sag - managed to spray Evostick impact behind the bad bits and this has worked.

Sounds as if you've had more problems than I did!
