All good suggestions thank you.

It's got laminate at the moment and I'm not up to ripping it out (time and health problems) but I don't know why I didn't think of at least getting some rugs down or something.

I may go wild and buy a long runner with decent pile on it!

Cheers

.....Hi, I'm also a Debutante owner (1984).  We put a good quality carpet in with a rubber underlay and in addition to the standard gas fire (which we hardly use), we also have a 1500W oilfilled radiator.

As there are only the two of us (plus dog), we have made the bed in the front into a 'permanent' double bed and have an electric blanket that we can use if it's very cold.

The van is normally nice and cosy but we haven't used it in extreme cold.

Just out of interest Feezee, do you know the weight of the Debutante?and where to find the serialnumber?

       Thanks, Werner.

.Thanks for the swift reply.  We have had the caravan (Betty) for nearly four years now.  The previous owner had done the electrics and changed the cooker.  There was a slight bit of damp in the front, but only a little bit, amazing really for the age.  we treated it, repaired it, replaced the awning rail inserts, the door rubbers and a few other bibs & bobs like the Curtains.  We have painted it inside, probably not to everyone's taste but we're happy with it. and we have several Dings on the outside.

I'd have a go at attaching some photos but I'm not sure how.....
