Looks grand Rick. Any second hand caravan needs odd jobs doing. You'll make a palace out of it I'm sure.

Goodness Rick, I doubt anyone else would have bothered doing the extensive repairs. From your first description it didn't sound quite so bad.

Did you ever get a new door locking handle?

yes locks all sorted, I knew that the whole panel would need replacing as once water gets into the ply behind the plastic coating it travels much further than is visible, but given the time I could sort the whole van in a week, but as is just getting a few hours here and there will take a lot longer, Rick

Got back on it today, rain most yesterday, not a lot but enough to make everything damp/wet, anyway window cut out and wood supports on although I will probably do away with the fold down 5th berth

Roof puckered a bit but thin ali sheet is not very forgiving and it needed a bit of effort to pry the joints apart due to the mastic so inevitably it gets deformed a bit
