Mark 1 Camper

[Kerrykittiecat]

I bought Bob Haigh's camper from E-bay. She's totally fantastic to drive and have had 2 mates check her out for welding and she got a clean bill of health. Unfortunately I think I've taken on a bit too much with the bodywork, Will sell on at a loss if anyone is interested?

[madmark]

can you put some picks of her on the for sale site ,this might help you !

[Kerrykittiecat]

Actually, I don't think I can bear to part with her. We really bonded on the 6 hour drive from Bristol to Newcastle and I thinks she's great. any helpful hints and tips on getting spares etc would be gratefully received. I'll keep you updatd on how we're doing!

Top stuff!!! You keep it!!!
The camper has 12 months mot doesn't it.... if im not mistaken!!! so you can restore the bodywork as you use it!!!!

My best tip (and i dont think anyone will disagree with me ) is to underseal/waxoil it (unless it has allready been done recently)!!! this will stop it getting any worse!!!
If your not sure what to do, any questions ask away!!! Theres a breif topic on it here!! have a look, its not the most plesant job in the world but well worth doing!!!

oh you are write on that luke ,its a horrid job and one i am not looking forward to but it has got to be done before the winter on mine!

Thanks everyone!! I took 'Fat Fanny the Tranny' back to the garage today to see the bodywork man and he's amazed by her condition considering her age. and he also said that she knocks spots off any VDub he's seen!! I felt like a proud Mam at school sports day!

...........so you called her Fanny then!? Well, I have already posted a brief 'how to' for the bodywork on your other post. Better buy yourself a sander, homebase have em for only £12!
