Exactly!! I left mine in storage hoping it would disappear somehow! However, I have to remove it now as the owners of the land are changing its use.
It's a huge problem, getting rid!!
Thanks anyway.

There are caravan only breakers out there.I had to scrap our first caravan through rot and got about £70 for it.It was better than nothing.I would imagine theres got to be a caravan breaker in the Blackpool area.
Can't find one and don't even want anything for it! It served us well, now just want rid of it!!

It would probably make a good donor for a Teardrop trailer.

I'm currently building my third one from a donor . I'll ask if theres any one in your area that could pick it up if you like.

Is it towable ?

That sounds good, please do. Never heard of Teardrops before, looks interesting. Do you build your own bodies on old chassis',and are you a Club/Society?
You are welcome to this van if there is someone near who can collect.
It is a solid chassis as it is an old van, but good quality!
Your hobby sounds really interesting!

Cheers Anne,

Yes I've built a new bodies, and alter the old chassis.

There's a couple of on line forums, predominantly American, but we have a growing UK community over here.

This is probably the most comprehensive trailer site on the web;

http://www.mikenchell.com/forums/index.php

 

This is the link to my Coppertop build;

http://www.mikenchell.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=32629

 

This is my current build. This time I'm building it inside the caravan , and will cut it out when it's near completed. Strip the caravan back to the chassis, and mount the new body.

http://www.mikenchell.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=33241

 

We're having a trailer gathering over the second bank holiday in May near Coventry ( as it's a fairly central location). We're expecting around 20 trailers, most are custom built, but some are commercially

www.tearjerkers.net is the home of the UK based club that are organising the meet.

 It's quite an addictive pastime, I have plans to make one a year for the foreseeable future.....It's cool recycling
