Hopefully I should pick up Kitty early next week, I plan to pop over on Wednesday and give her a good going over and making sure she is ready for towing, need to check all the lights etc, plus one of the tyres looks a little low. Once I'm happy she is good to tow I'll bring her home and pop her on the drive and start the work.

I noticed she has a couple of soft spots in the floor, some rot by the door and also some damp at the front, on Wednesday I'll check it out in greater detail. I have some marine ply left over from doing up my boat (see sabrinaswan.blogspot.com) so the floor shouldn't cause me too many problems.

Currently Kitty has 5 berths, with part of those being a converting rear seated area into bunk beds, I plan to convert that to a fixed 3/4 double as at most only Karen and myself will be staying on her.

I might be contracting again soon so the idea is to use her instead of staying in faceless hotels, somewhere to call home as it were. Karen made the point that I would be better getting a larger caravan so that I could have a proper bed, as opposed to having to keep making a bed each night. Kitty currently has a bathroom with a sink and room for a porta-potti, I plan to move the wall slightly as the room have an angled door to make a slightly larger space and have a cassette toilet, with a full shower as the newer Lunars have.

Below is a mock up of what the layout will be once she is done:


More details once I've spent the day on Wednesday drawing up lists.
