Just found your channel, Excellent makeover. Lovely to see someone taking pride in their work. You’ve got that oven top spotless!! Lovely to see your tasteful homely touches too, the family pics, church etc. Nice one. 👍🏻

[@katiestageman3255]

This is brilliant! My partner and I have recently purchased a Tourer which we'll be renovating soon! Thank you for all the handy tips! Straight forward and honest 👌 The final look is gorgeous! You've done an amazing job Thank you

[@bodienutt1]

Thank you....and good luck with the renovation it's great fun

[@novaworld1297]

Lovely job given me some ideas ty for your time subscribed

[@DonnaDonna2023]

Just bought my first van and can’t wait to transform it. Thank you for your video, your van looks gorgeous!

[@bodienutt1]

Thank you. And enjoy your new van its great fun

[@richtea7868]

Thanks for this video. I’m considering doing the same thing as although I’d like a new caravan I’m not sure I can afford it. Your makeover is great

[@bodienutt1]

Thank you. The idea for us was to buy a used van for a couple of years then upgrade but 5 years later we still have it. To be honest we love the van so much we'll keep it for another year or two the we'll proberbly upgrade. I'd recommend buying a used van to see how you get on and then upgrade as you'll probably have a few scrapes here and there. I've gone through 3 jockey wheels lol

[@kf-dk5pb]

Looks great a fantastic job, can I ask a year on has any of the paint chipped ?

[@GeoffJudson-Smith]

Well done Lovely job totally transformed the van, Glad I saw this as i've just brought a caravan with the same thing in mind

[@bodienutt1]

[@waynesparrow2015]

Thanks for the mention of the self adhesive tiles, think I might get some of those. Wish your volume was higher, had difficulty hearing you. Very smart now.

[@bodienutt1]

@paulfrith999 just look out for the spurs sticker lol

[@victormeldroo]

i was doubtful at 1st your makeover was going to make an improvement, but you did well and have cheered up a dull old fashioned out of date colour scheme without spending a ruddy fortune. well done I like it, I like it a lot.

[@lindapankhurst4513]

It’s beautiful!

[@robbiegarbe2603]

Spot on mate. Me and the wife are getting are first touring caravan next week. Watching your video has given us some good ideas. Cheers mate 👍🏻

[@bodienutt1]

Enjoy every moment mate its very addictive lol. Happy caravaning

[@HistoryAndAdventure]

Brilliant job, one big question i have...does the paint chip and scratch easily?

[@caroleanneholden3827]

Interested to know this too. I used cupboard paint on ours and it scratches terribly

[@cyprus1309]

Looks absolutely stunning mate job well done lovely van especially the single beds

[@rickm283]

Looks very clean and fresh looking, big improvement, well done.👍👍👍

[@bodienutt1]

Cheers was worth it definitely going to do something with the seats

[@jencoops3468]

[@davidallen7540]

You made a good job of that 👍

[@matthewclowser4192]

[@martinfield1484]

Looks fantastic I’m just about to get our upholstery changed professionally to start my update but I do like the painted doors etc well done

[@bodienutt1]

Thanks buddy..I'm definitely going to change mine too especially the curtains haven't a clue on how to take them off though

[@CaravanWithThatYorkshireChap]

Excellent makeover 👏

[@ethelmurphy7850]

I think you have done an AMAZING job! All your hard work has paid off! Love the videos too! Keep them coming!

[@damiencoleman7411]

[@andymccune3951]

Outstanding mate 👌. Just bout our first 4 berth ourselfs

[@bodienutt1]

You won't regret it Happy caravanning enjoy every moment.

[@andymccune3951]

@@bodienutt1 looking forward to it. Have first week booked from 9th till 16th August. Been out near everyday after work doing we bit here n there, ripped old carpe up today n laying nice grey lino down

[@baznant]

Very impressive sir! Hats off to you

[@germoto]

Quality job, loved the grey paintwork especially 👍

[@barbarabennett6018]

Love the renovations, and the van, you have given us some great tips thank you, just a thought, we bought Dunelm throws to recover our seating. We cut them to size and used elastic so they are easy to remove for washing, they are lovely and soft and were a fraction of the cost of reupholstery

[@bodienutt1]

Thank you

[@liamtuffy8493]

Well done mate it looks amazing

[@bodienutt1]

Thank you

[@Marie-yx5ie]

It's looks amazing, well done to you 👍😉🇮🇪🍀

[@mikekeith2474]

👍 excellent work looking good.

[@raymondarmstrong1082]

Beautiful job that. 👏

[@bodienutt1]

Thank You

[@adriennetaylor9790]

Love the makeover and the information re paints etc. just got my first motor home and looking forward to doing the same to mine. How do you get sponsors?? Enjoy.

[@bigblu142]

Excellent job

[@emmahamilton9379]

Looks great. You could try the dylon washing machine machine dye for the cushions and curtains

[@vicdunni]

Fantastic!

[@johnfittis5764]

Looks like a lot of work but a big transformation 👍 perhaps there are low cost options for the upholstery that would be in keeping with the low cost make over. Caravan reborn❤️

[@bodienutt1]

Thanks I will definitely shop around because that new upholstery would finish it of a treat

[@clairehaldon9637]

Looks fab xx

[@the_vintage_boy3453]

I’ve got that same flooring, it’s super easy and looks amazing!

[@bodienutt1]

Well worth the money great product

[@michaelroberts7549]

You’ve done an awesome job, it looks great. I can’t tell you how odd it is to see a van that you once owned star in a KZbin channel; it’s so lovely to see that she’s ended up in a good home.

[@bodienutt1]

Cheers mate

[@monkey281059]

Very nice looks great

[@everydayimwingingit3875]

Is this a standard cooker. If not where did you buy it ours needs replacing. Also the sink? Is it a normal sink or one for a caravan, again where did you buy it please. You've done great

[@bodienutt1]

I've only had the van for 4 years and it came with the van. I had all the original manuals and it seems it was a standard Fleetwood Heritage/ Volante cooker

[@englishrose1122]

It looks good but I agree on the upholstery needing a change to something more modern. Loads of the older caravans have dated fabrics it seems but £1000 sounds a lot but I suppose if you buy a couple of sofas it would be more, I have just bought two for my sitting room. You did so well to get the caravan at that price, its in very good condition. In my kitchen my husband used a vinyl wrap on the cabinet doors in a slate grey concrete finish, its amazing its the second makeover in last 7 years with this material and it doesn’t show chip or show fingerprints due to the mottled concrete look. Maybe you could have a go in another part of the van.

[@caroleanneholden3827]

Do you have pics or videos

[@heidimiller3857]

Amazing dad x 💕🦋

[@eileenfleet574]

Look really nice I had new cushions they look nice

[@bodienutt1]

I think new cushions and curtains will finish it of nicely probably do that st the end of the season

[@britrajuk3238]

Great job mate. How much does storage cost.

[@johngospel7401]

Absolute transformation we'll done

[@bodienutt1]

Thank you

[@awchapel]

Great Job.. my caravan is a 2003 and it's a great option rather than replacing the whole caravan. Thanks for sharing 👍

[@bodienutt1]

Thanks....To be honest when I pulled all the cupboard doors off and primed them I thought oh no what have I done my poor caravan but it was worth it and it cost just over 200 quid and it was fun. Would recommend doing it feels like I got a new caravan

[@geillis8248]

Hi, can I ask where did you get the tiles from around the kitchen area? Great video 📹

[@bodienutt1]

Hello mate got them on Amazon very easy to install 👍

[@DCI11]

It looks lovely. Can I just ask you…..the flooring….did you take the old flooring off I presume it was a carpet or just laid the new floor on top ? Thanks

[@bodienutt1]

The original flooring was lino I just gave it a good clean the laid the planks on top. So far so good fingers crossed

[@teifigruffudd962]

You can get cushion covers on eBay or you can get throws in home bargins for £3.99 I think that would make it look the extra bit better looks great as it is now though :)

[@bodienutt1]

Thanks I will take a look definitely would make a difference

[@anthonyfarrell8147]

do u have a link to the tiles u bought for the kitchen wall please

[@vivdoolan6846]

The new colour clashes with the upholstery because seats are beige and base is yellow so clashes with the grey. If you reupholster the seats and curtains it will look amazing ...

[@bodienutt1]

Definitely We are going to get someone to do the upholstery on the seats and change the curtains. During the winter we have decided to do the bed room too

[@MrInfinityjak]

Where did you get the self adhesive tiles from ...?

[@bodienutt1]

Amazon mate

[@MrInfinityjak]

@@bodienutt1 and are they ceramic or plastic...? They look really good

[@bodienutt1]

@@MrInfinityjak PVC very light and durable and easy to clean. Good value

[@michaeldean3340]

how did you do the worktops ?

Hello mate yes the worktops are the original ones I didn't do nothing to them
