Let the stripping out begin!
Messy job but it had to be done, today we started to take out everything from the inside. It felt like ripping the heart out of Bert, but as we started to remove bits we quickly realised we were doing the right thing. Nearly all of the interior was damaged by water damage or damp, and bearing in mind he had sat disused and in the elements for many many years it's not a surprise. Firstly we removed the curtains, then the seating, cupboards & kitchen unit. On another day we will remove all the interior walls and most likely will need to replace much of the framework underneath. The flooring will need to be lifted and a closer look underneath will also be needed. After that we can start resealing him!
Our 1960's Sprite 400 Caravan. Needs a bit of TLC to restore him to his former glory.

Time for a wash!
It was a lovely sunny day on Sunday, Bert has been moved into a better working position... Out come the buckets filled with sugar soap & scrubbing brushes at the ready. A few hours later, a lot of scrubbing and he looks much better! Still along way to go though, but today I feel like we are making some progress.
