Hi, I started out on the classic caravan forum, as I bought a viscount valiant caravan which was sold as being 1978 but has since been dated by the knowlegeable forum moderator as being the last half of 1969! so I think ive snuck in...chassis number is C1234. Lots of work to do, but the van is in basically good shape. Am very excited. Its called the Caboodle. Windows popped on the truck down from nsw. Would like to add a photo, but I can't see that I can on this post?

Here are some photo updates of the inside progress.  (sealed battery under the bed) - the van is being set up to run off the grid for a couple of days   (I know the little flat screen is not exactly in keeping with 1969 but some things trump aesthetics) Hole in the roof where transparent opening skylight (with internal blind and flie wire) will go. There was a bit of rot in the old wooden hatch and I really want it be able to see the stars at night  New stainless steel sink ( replaced a very shallow stained acrylic round sink)  The new cushions ( double sided) with one of the oldies.)  And plan for the wardrobe space- I never hang anything, shelves going to be a much better use of limited storage. Roof has been resealed, broken windows replaced with perspex, lighting changed to LEDs. I think we're going to be ready for spring ! Hi Fionna, I've amended the links to your photos so that they display. If you copy and paste the links in Photobucket tagged 'IMG' your pics will work. Don Ricardo |
