The floor near the door has de-laminated and might actually have some rot, although I won't know until I have a good look at her on the drive, the door frame is completely shot, rotted in most places to nothing, the damp appears to be coming in from a couple of cracks above the door, having done some reading it appears to be a common fault on early caravans as there is no support behind the aluminium. When I repair her, I'll bond a new piece of aluminium over the cracks and then a piece of timber over that to create some strength.
The damp in the front right corner is very bad, but I'm hoping its just damp and rot hasn't had a chance to set in. There also appears to be mould on the inside of some of the roof panels, this just could be because she is damp or because the roof is leaking. The roof trim has been screwed in place using normal steel screws so I'll remove the trim, reseal it and replace the screws with stainless steel ones.
All the running gear all seems to be in great condition, no damage to the chassis etc all the rear lights etc work although they will need to be dismantled and fully cleaned, I'll probably replace the actual bulbs with leds or if I can find a suitable led light cluster replace the whole cluster as they appear to be fully sealed so could be bonded the the body and prevent any future leaks.
I've removed the awning and other items in the storage lockers to make her lighter when I tow her home and have planned a route that avoids the A6 as it can be a bit of a nightmare when you approach Stockport.
Below are some current photos of her inside, the wood is a light oak colour which makes her very light and spacious.
The bathroom needs to most work as its just an empty room at the moment, I'll fit a shower tray, a cassette toilet. I'll probably extend the wall to create more of a square room and provide a little extra space. The room is a little dark so I might fit a roof light, but we'll see.
A couple of photos of the outside, I'll repaint the green stripe and replace the front running lights as they have rusted beyond repair, the gas locker seems a little fragile, but it could just be that the lock is broken, worse case I'll get another one from a caravan breakers, or reinforce it using some fibre glass "battons".
