Re ROWVAN

[fergie]

Here are the photos I said I would post

























;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Sorry it took so long but work commitments

As you can see in the first photo ROWVAN is painted on the rear above the number plate.
You may also notice a lot of water damage to the sides so I've got a bit of work ahead of me.
Have already stripped out the inside and will start working on the sides when the weather gets a bit less unpredictable.

Hi Fergie,

Well done on getting the photos of your caravan up on the forum. The first time is the hardest!

Your van is quite different to any of the other Rowvans I can think of which have been posted on the forum. Based on the design it would also be significantly later than the others, which were mainly if not exclusively 50's style vans. The 'panorama' style front window is also a bit different. Do you think it's original or was added at a later point?

The van is certainly "well ventilated" at this point. We look forward to seeing more photos as work progresses. I'm sure the van will look a treat when it is all finished.

Hi DonR
Yes it is well ventillated but hopefully not for too much longer.
I think the side parts of the window, which are perpex, are a later addition, if you have any photos of original style or similar could you please send them to me at [e-mail] or alternatively post them on here as a reply.
Thanks.
Fergie.

Hi Fergie.
Great find.There was a very similar Rowvan on ebay a couple of weeks ago , but it didnt have the perspex front window, which I think would be a later addition as it doesnt flow with the rest of the front of the van.

Hi Fergie,certainly don't look like your typical rowvan, but nevertheless it's a unique one. like you say, a bit of repair work to do- which will keep you out of trouble for a while
How's the roof area for damage, i see you have it covered - Keep us posted

Hi Kingy
The roof has a hole about the size of a cricket ball just above the front window, and the seal has gone from the push up opening in the centre apart from that I couldn't tell you any more coz I havent uncovered it yet.

Hi Vantoura,
Do you know if it is still there and if it is could you copy the photo and post it here for me please,
