It's obvious that the original walling on the right hand side of the caravan has been removed and replaced with ply wood. It's not the best job in the world, so I am suspecting that the last owner ripped the original stuff out to fix a damp problem. A guess a bit of filler and more thick lining paper freshly applied and painted will make a neat finish from an amature job. It feels tinder dry so I suspect it will look pretty good once it's all done.
Oh.
That'll be damp then!
(Not so much luck on the left hand side of Dolly)
It looks like the vent in the top right hand quarter of the photo below has let damp in, and water is obviously getting in along the entire length of the metal detailing across the van. The timber frame is so rotten it's just flaking out as I scrape it. This is NOT good! I think next weeks first planned outing in her is on hold!
Caravan hospital in Runcorn phoned, appointment made for tomorrow afternoon to have the full extent of the damaged assessed, oh and the quote for the repair job as well? Gulp. So I guess tomorrow we will know once and for all exactly what is wrong with it, I hope Mr nice caravan medic doesn't uncover much more than this!
Fingers crossed :(
Poorly girl
