This is the story of Vikki the Viking, a brave and fearless little caravan born in 1968 (we think). Cait, Gibson and James are attempting to bring her back to life...she's a bit battle scarred. Her full title is Viking Fibreline 1. Remember that blogs work in reverse, so either hit the "end" button on your computer keyboard or scroll right down to get a logical sequence.

The clean, the check and the strip

First off we needed to get her level, then get her cleaned out and then start to strip off the "crap". What I mean is the modern bits and bobs that didn't belong...and to be honest there weren't many of those but out they came.
Then it was a case of carefully removing existing fittings and storing and marking them and stripping off the wallcoverings to reveal the damage.
I don't know if you noticed in the previous post the handle lying on the floor...well that proved to be the worst problem so far. The fact that the handle holes had been left exposed and (we think) the caravan left sitting at an angle, there had been a whole lot of water dripping in. Anyway, here's a taster.



More to come soon.
