So the next part of my update, We love camping and as I earlier posted we bought a camper trailer :) Well we have upgraded again ;) We purchased A new tow van & a Caravan :p Of course I thought we had done well with the caravan, But then I started to find the problems :( Now It's not the end of the world but my OCD has kicked in and now it's going to be a complete rebuild :)

Just a couple of hints
-Use High density polystyrene for your insulation as it does a really good job. But it has to fit perfectly or it will squeak as it moves. a cheap "hot wire cutter" can make it soooo quick and neat without the mess everywhere.
This is a upmarket version of what I have, it has done all our foam cutting for the house for the last 8 years and never let me down.

Have you seen the new composite caravan wall panels available now, they are affordable and do the insulation at the same time, some are only 14mm thick. One of the suppliers is in the Newcastle area.

As part of my Caravan resto, I find myself in need of a router table ;) However I don't think it's something I will need regularly, So I can't justify the $$$$$ they're asking for one. IDEA why not build a bolt-on for my saw bench :thumbup: Some 12mm ply and some 19mm ply glued and screwed with some cut outs for my router, glue on a metal top (still need to cutout the router hole) AND hey presto a router table :lol: Still some bit's to finish but she'll do the job:beer:

(yes it's a safety sign top :lol::lol:)

Just to close off on what happened with the caravan, After much deliberation I decided to cut my losses and be free of the bad vibes around it, I moved it on and picked up a new complete Caravan which we started using straight away and love :)

Restoration on the Caravan is complete, Super happy with the result :D
