I was just looking at all the ads for new and shiny caravans in club mags and for the show in Manchester in the new year, but although sometimes the new and shiny is tempting, part of me just never wants to let go of my quirky, old half-a-caravan-with-canvas-where-the-walls-should-be. I wondered how many people on here have old caravans that they prefer to keep repairing, or even actually buy old ones to do them up, or for a better layout? Also interested in how you keep them on the road when spares run out and stuff. Would love to see stories and pics of what people have done with their units - I need the inspiration to get my sewing machine from under its cover and get ready for next season!

I absolutely LOVE my little 1969 Fisher Holivan - even if I won the Lottery, I wouldn't rush out to buy a sparkling white box on wheels.
I would probably use the money to really do Holi up to exactly how I would like her to look, with professionaly made curtains, blinds and seat covers rather than my home made efforts!! lol

Pictures of her are in the "Crappy" thread.
