Do agree it is pricey location is lovely we really enjoyed it especially with the nice long walks you can go on

I would say around 25mpg, but it does depend on if it’s a lot of motorways you get a bit more around 30mpg and if you’re doing a lot of single hilly A roads, it’ll be less.

Thank you 😁 I was a bit nervous when we started because once you start sanding there really isn’t any going back lol but now we are well under way it’s exciting to see how it turns out not sure I would have been that brave to do it on a more expensive caravan though 😂

I was quite impressed for something reasonably cheap compare to getting someone to wash it for me

Thank you, we are probably going leave the blinds as they are white and hopefully should match the rest of the caravan when it’s done 👍

If you change your mind let me know and I give you some advice how to make it very cheap.

Thanks glad the sanding is over though 😁

Thank you very much 😁

Thank you, It was took a bit longer then what we expected but glad that bit is out the way now

Thanks Andy hopefully it start looking a bit different once we start painting hopefully fully finished by mid to end of march so we can start going away again 👍

😂 I have said that a few times, but now the sanding is done, which I think is probably the worst part. We can get painting, etc., and hopefully start to see the finished results

i changed mine last year, waspretty straight forward but make sure you gt the dimensions of the old one before you get your new one, also make sure there are feet on new one if the oldone relys on brackets to hold it in place. oh and watch you dont over power,

@@dabulltattoogreat advice Thankyou - we hardly use it but not sure what to put in its place?

Thank you ☺️ on with the painting next that’s going to be fun 😬

We were on pitch 43. It was a fully service pitch. I think they only have about 20 fully service pitches, and they were all in the row we were in (they might have added more now). But if you are going fully serviced, then I would maybe call them to see if you can pick your pitch. I would recommend anything between 31 to 35. They were opposite our pitch and they didn’t have the slope up to the pitch like ours. A motor mover will help you out big time if you have kids. Great site lots for them to do. Hope you have a lovely time 👍

Thanks for you advise I’ll give them a call

It’s going okay, but the sanding was a pain and took longer than we thought, but will be starting the painting this week 😁

@CaravanTrails preparation is a slow process but will be worth it once finished 👍🏼

Hi, yes, we love to get a new one, but we’re going to hold off for a bit as we’re still enjoying our old caravan at the moment. Now, we have decided to do a bit of modernising inside. I think it will do it for another season. Lee & Claire

You’re definitely right. We had to kind of do the same. Wouldn’t mind swapping it over for a 13-pin plug eventually.

Yeah, been giving that a go, but because of the pattern on the door, it’s kinda tricky, but I really want to vinyl wrap them as I think it will look better.

Hi, thank you 😁 KZbin is hard and takes time. If you can get at least two videos a month out, it does help, but this can be hard, especially in the winter months. I recognise your name from TikTok, and you seem to be doing really well there, so I’m sure you’ll do well with your KZbin channel as well. Just subscribed. Good luck 👍

​@@CaravanTrails thanks for the support, I've watched all your videos, I'm enjoying the renovation series

It would 😂, and hopefully in the near future we will be, but for now this is cheaper 😂. Glad you enjoyed the video 😁

Thank you 😁

Thank you 😁 We expect to get some criticism. I think that’s what happens when you put it on KZbin, but as you said, it’s our caravan, and the beauty of having an older caravan is doing projects like this. So far, so good. If you’re thinking of doing it, I would say go for it! Make it your own! 👍

Hi, thanks for watching. Scotland is 100% on our list of places to go, maybe this year. 😁

Thanks mate 😁 it’s going well so far. We absolutely love caravanning.

Hi Andy, Not sure if it’s brave or stupid 😂 but it will be fun to do and does mean we can put our own little touches into the caravan. I have zero experience in decorating any kind of caravan, so it will be interesting to see how it turns out.

@ I’m sure it will turn out great. 👍

Thank you! And happy new year to you as well 😁

Even though we would love a new caravan, it is nice to have an older caravan where you can do this kind of work and not worry as much if you muck it up 😂

Thank you 😁 We sure can’t wait for it to be done and for us to get out using the caravan again.

What gives you the impression it’s a wind up? It’s just an old caravan what could go wrong 😂

I think I finally lost the will to live when you said you was going to just emulsion the ceiling 😮

Like I said, no expert here and don’t think it will really make a difference on a 19-year-old caravan, but if you have any useful tips, feel free to share.

@@CaravanTrails unfortunately I think you have made your mind up so I wouldn’t offer my advice not to do it.

Thank you, yeah I think it was needed to get it changed over really just have to add it to the list of jobs to do 😂

Hopefully it turns out okay 😂 Definitely get a short trip in where you can 👍

This is interesting I will definitely have a look into this thanks 👍

Stay tuned to a channel where we are going to be doing regular update videos 👍

Exactly what we have gone for hopefully they fit ok

Definitely a job that needs doing. We have never noticed it before as we haven’t used the caravan in really cold weather like you said. It comes in handy when it’s cold and we are in the storage yard.👍

I agree with you on that

That is an idea which we may look into. 👍

Hopefully 🤞

Thank you Andy, definitely a lot more vlogs coming this year. Thank you for your kind words and glad some of the videos have helped you roll on the spring 👍

Yeah, 100% right. We don’t really go away when it’s really cold, so it’s never been a problem, but now we are doing some work on the caravan in the winter. It is a problem 😂, but we will be getting it changed over now.

I was thinking exactly the same. Those gaps between the frames could be quite tricky to get into. Find out in the next video if I worked out how to get them off. 😂

Your totally right mate one of them jobs i need to do but haven’t got round to it yet 😂

Happy new year to you as well. Likewise, we can’t wait to get back out in the caravan again. Roll on spring!

We are planning on keeping the curtains like yourself and just recovering them, we have found some cushion covers so going to see how that goes only things is for us using throws we would have to take them off every night to make the bed up

@@CaravanTrailswe have to do the same but the fleece ones (we use as throws) then double up as a matters topper under the bottom sheet.

Thank you 😁

Glad the video helped. It’s a pretty simple job, so you shouldn’t have any problems. 👍

The detachable tow bar is really good and would definitely recommend it. Hope you are enjoying your caravan.

@CaravanTrails Hi , thanks for the reply, we haven't used the caravan yet, waiting until the weather is better, I've never towed , this is our first caravan, still got to sort towbar but will get a detachable one. We can't wait to go somewhere in it .

Thanks for the tip and appreciate the kind feedback 😁

Hello 👋

It being dark and absolute freezing we just wanted to get the heating on didn’t help 😂
