Hi,
I have just purchased a 77 Cabana and would love to seethe photos of you restoration. I cannot view them on the site as it says photos removed or deleted. Is it possible to have a look at your resto photos

Hey Wayne
and WELCOME
Suziauto hasn't logged in since again posting this thread.
So I would suggest it is unlikely that you will receive a response.
Cabana's are a nice neat little van.
There are other threads relating to them if you want to search them out.
Just had a look for some of the older threads....
Sadly only the one I bumped seems to have any photos or info that might be useful for you.
Part of the problem with the changing membership.
Many pass through never to be heard of again. Sadly.
Cheers
Atog

G'day suziauto, That's a very good resto there! ;D  Good grief!...a 20mm floor will survive the next earthquake, for sure!  Glad you've been out and about and enjoyed your effort. cheers, Al. |

Alacrity
Glad to see you've made it to our little forum.

If you want to see if a member is still around, click on their name (in blue) and it will give you some information regarding status.
If you click on suziauto, you will see that the member last logged in on Sept 4th of this year so he is still around.
Cheers and welcome

Hi Graeme
Looking good!
I am in the process of restoring 76 cabana, and notice you replaced the pods - please tell me where, who and the cost!!!
I have wanted to replace mine - but everyone said its too expensive. As I am doing this caravan up with the intention of keeping for years, I really don't want to finish the project only to find I need to revisit to replace the pods. Any info and advise gratefully received!!
I just love the space the cabana give you, and for a female it's light and easy to tow. The awning of course is a different matter..... Later later.....
So far, have fixed the trailer from the bottom, put in new floor in the van. New 240 and 12v, purchased wicker cabinets each with 9 pull out drawers, which are fitted each side.
Purchased carpet, which will be put in after insulation and wall panelling.
Cooking and washing will be done outside.
Outside is being clad with checker plate up to the windows, this covers the dents and dings.
Thanks for reading
J
