Our Amazing Caravan Transformation: From Old to New!

🏡We bought a 20-year-old caravan with a limited budget and renovated it to create a stylish living space.

🔨We encountered issues with delaminated floors and rotten walls, but we successfully repaired and transformed these areas.

🎨Painting was a major part of the renovation, requiring two coats of primer to cover the dark wood and give it a fresh new look.

💺We recovered all the seats in the caravan to make them fresh and neutral.

🚿The bathroom underwent significant changes, including removing the sink, stripping the walls, and transforming it into a dressing room area.
