my new carawagon
a few pictures of my latest purchase
I have been looking for a long time,and
missed a few (one or two of which ended
at Wakefield Carawagon Incorperated)
A few jobs to do.I have collected the new
old style no,plates today and will fit them
tomorrow.need to make and fit a frame for
an awning.i will have to find a fridge,and
get the seat base in the rear re-stiched.
But all in good time
Fate is very strange this l/r has had the 1st
owner for 35 years and then his niece for
5 years,exactly the same owners and time
as my station wagon.
Cant wait for the shows to start

Re: my new carawagon
Fantastic, Phillip, looks great
When you get a chance for more photos, some of the cabinet on the left (cooker?/fridge?) and the inside of the cupboards on the right would be appreciated, please.
Can't wait to see it in the flesh
Cheers,
Robin.

Re: my new carawagon
At a guess, I'd say some sort of shelf or perhaps, if your sink is in the worktop, a board to go over the sink
That's one of the great things about these vehicles - you never know what was original, optional, or a later DIY addition
I do notice that your cupboard doors are like Steve's, and are on sliders, which is different to mine where they are all hinged but removable.
I assume, like Steve's, only your middle door is removable (to make a table)?
On mine, you remove the door and it slots into guides inside the cupboard to make a table.
Cheers,
Robin.

Good to see you on t'internet again
I think Phillip's is the same as yours, isn't it, with formica covered sliding doors?
Have you had a look at our show list for this year HERE?
Just wondering which will be the first show we can get all the Carawagons together at
Cheers,
Robin.

Re: my new carawagon

in the new carawagon,it is so quiet,so responsive
and so thirsty compared to the station wagon.
