hi all
was thinking of putting a product like Duralite on my walls as its an insulation. as i can gather it has maybe ali on both sides with like a honey combe on the inside
does any one know if there is some thing like that, that i could use instead of just putting ply on the walls
name and price would be good please. also where to buy it from
regards peter

Hi Peter,
If you look in the hall of fame you will find various types of insulation used in different rebuilds.
I guess you need decide which one suits your purpose, best
Regards
Teflon

hi alex and jean, yeah im quite happy with the floor and we got it for $76.00 ps. which was not bad considering we i live
im in the proses of making new guards out of stainless that i have at home as ive tried today to get some replacement ones but no luck. one bloke quoted me ,wait for it, $600.00 each out of a thin tin. you could guess what i said
not sure on how to make the guards yet. any ideas
plan would be good
regards peter

Hey Peter
Maaaate
Looks like you've gone whole hog.
Not a screw left unturned. ;D ;D
It'll be a really nice van when you're finished.
Keep at it.
Nice build
Cheers

G'day Peter, That's a pretty good-looking job on the guards.  They are exactly the same as the guards I have in my 1956 van in the shed, although mine are made from the galvanised metal you could get back in those days, and the joints have been soldered. Yours will surely outlast the plastic type that was popular in the 1970s. cheers, Al. |

thanks AL
after talking to a caravan repairer, he said that if a tyre blows it wrecks the plastic guards so made those and will be the bottom shelf in the cupboards
i have the old plastic ones still, a bit broken, do you think some one may want them, as we cant buy them any more
i would put them on here as for give away
thanks for the good words on the guards, they dont make caravans square,ha,ha
regards peter

your guards look great Peter, we are planning boxed guards too, much more practical than the rounded ones.

Hi Peter92.
I just finished restoring my nightmare. It is a 1970's Baravan. Construction is very similar. The Bara used 20mm RHS in it's frame. I ended up reducing it to just the shell with no floor! Started there, fitted 2 water tanks, a new floor, then lined it and built a 750 X550 shower cubicle. I have about 200 pics of the process. Happy to share them with you. I lined it with "Renoir Beech" from Gunnersons and the roof in 3mm Gloss ply. The biggest stumbling block (more of a mental block) was making the shower door. Let me know if you would like like a copy of the pics. Cheers
