Patching it up until we get our dream wagon:

I repaired a damp corner in one a few years ago but I am not an expert by any means.

There is a chap called Wizard, over on UKCampsite. He is a font of knowledge on repairs.

I made some choice improvements to our old caravan. Bought it for £800. Blinds were a start. Cassette blinds would have been about twice what I paid for the caravan. So in went plain black-out blinds from Argos. For about £60. A couple of curtain wires took care of the sloping front windows. New carpet made a huge improvement. Transformed it to be honest. The floor had de-laminated in one spot. Thought about the injection kits, but in the end I boarded it out in 1/2" ply. I did some work on the electrics, added some sockets etc. Sold it as a Buy-It-Now on Ebay a couple of years later, for £1700. Could have sold it 5 times over. Chap drove 200 miles to collect.[url= http://www.flickr.com/photos/takisawa2/sets/72157622002327399/ ]Abbey[/url]

Check-out UKCS, there's some good stuff on there, photos of restorations/repairs that folk have done etc.
