Well folks, I may have mentioned on our introductory posts that we intended revamping the interior of Max, our 1993 Dutchmen demountable... We already knew that due to a deteriorating front window seal, a certain amount of damp was happening in the front left corner of the luton. What we didn't real...

What an epic saga! Just discovered rot in the front corner of our Dutchmen demountable, so we may be off on a yucky voyage of discovery soon... Just to say, when we did up our last two vans (Renault Master and Ford Transit Custom), we took all the ply lining off and put a layer of insulation in befo...

What an interesting site!
So long as you don't have to share with the Grand Designs lot...

Beth was originally from Texas, and I hat...

Zildjian, Rob spotted Beth and Max on eBay in July '14... we contacted the seller and called in to see him (and them) as we happened to be passing Southport en route to the Midlands that week. We agreed a price immediately and put down a deposit, the rest to be paid once an LPG conversion had been a...

Zildjian,

I believe Max and Beth spent quite a few years (after being imported to the UK in 2004) sitting around on a caravan site in Eastbourne. They got traded in, and my sharp-eyed hubby spotted them on eBay

June in Derbyshire sounds like fun! I'm from Staffs originally so Derbyshire is like coming home.
Thanks for adding the pics for me. I'd forgotten how much poor Bethie sags when Max is on board... definitely saving up for some airbags.
