Its interesting,,
would you rather a frame?
or sandwich panel?
Most caravans that age had foam in the frame spaces,, around an inch thickness,,
and if you took the time to work out old school 1" insulation PLUS "window" space --- Vs new 50mm flat panel with more window space ,, it would be interesting to average out the internal temps,
There was no insulation in it at all. The blue insulation that is in the roof will be put in the walls as well, when they go back on.Quote:

Did you guys start a thread on the Classic Caravan forum at all when you bought the Millard? Can’t remember. If you did, a; update there would be greatly appreciated by the members there. 😊👍
No I haven't. Wasn't sure if they would appreciate the complete stripping out and rebuild. I can though.Quote:

It would be great if you could - there aren’t many reno’s going on there at the moment, it would generate some good interest. [emoji4][emoji106]

This van should be smick when finished, i thought about doing the same for about 10 minutes then gave myself a slap.
Are you upgrading the axle and springs, the melamine cupboards and shower with xtra tank will eat into your Tare.
Keep up the great work.
We are going to weigh it when finished then upgrade the axle to suit and probably electric brakes. All the walls, cupboards are hollow to save weight, except for the under fridge draw and Micro cupboard, shower is fiberglass.Quote:
