Default In the tintent club

Today we joined the tintent club, it's a 5 birth with full awning and comes with new cushion covers and curtains, just been resealed too so no damp or water ingress for the foreseeable future, we have got it with the intention of first touring the uk with it as a sort of practice run before we go on a tour of europe (providing we can get insurance for little one with the liver disease)

anyway pics so it's true

Yes have seen the thread

It needs a bit of work doing, some bits of wood need replacing as it had a leak before the old owners got it, they got it as a project but due to ill health cant finish it, they had it all resealed and were in the process of doing the inside, they have had new cushion covers and curtains made that are also included just not up yet, its got hot and cold water too which is a bonus, the plan is to tour the uk in summer 2018 when the kids are off school for the holidays for 6 weeks starting at lands end and going to john o'groats then back to sw wales where we live, this will be a sort of practice run for our big adventure of touring europe

started on the repairs, first thing was the bunk that makes it a 5 birth, the battens that hold the bunk were missing so we got some reclaimed wood and cut it to size and made new ones

https://scontent.fbrs1-2.fna.fbcdn.n...15&oe=595794DF

https://scontent.fbrs1-2.fna.fbcdn.n...e3&oe=596ADD42

Now the bunk can be used

https://scontent.fbrs1-2.fna.fbcdn.n...48&oe=594F194D

Next job now it wasn't raining was to repair the hood for where the gas bottles are kept as it had been cracked and had seen better days, oh and theres no way i'm paying £100 for a replacement

some fibre glass compound and resealing later and it's probably stronger than it has ever been

https://scontent.fbrs1-2.fna.fbcdn.n...cf&oe=596E2676

now just needs a sand down and a paint along with the rest of the van

I've put some new tyres on it today, the ones that were on it were made in 1989
