    Hi both,
    My first job was getting hold of motorcaravans and prepping them for sale.
    We jetwashed them first, followed by autoglym resin polish on the body to bring the colour back. Back to black and dress up the engine bay in WD40.
    I'm the inside If they never had a carpet, we would fit a new carpet running from the cab to the back. It transforms them massively. We even put plastic carpet protector tape over the top in a strip.
    The fridges sometimes need to be level to get cold (will run off gas or eletric)

    • @Anita-gp1gv
      @Anita-gp1gv 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes that is a good idea to get a top notch carpet remnant and do as you have suggested rather than getting a runner stitched. But you do need something carpety because of treading in and out.

    Now that's a before and after! It's amazing what a good clean can do to a vehicle, even when you are selling. Definitely change the rear lino for something more 'woody' and it will certainly make the interior feel more modern. Aside from that, you'll have no problem shifting this 👍🏻

    Rob, I am no detailer, but a good investment would be a small selection of detailing brushes. I am always amazed how much cleaner a vehicle looks once all the nooks, crannies, rain channels and gutters, window surrounds etcetera are thoroughly cleaned out with a good squirt of APC and a going over with a soft-bristled brush.

  • @daryltownsend

    Looks lovely after the clean. The nature of the game means that you have to buy when you get the chance, when the time comes the other motorhomes will get done. For the inside maybe have a word with your upholstery seat guy and see if he would be able to recover the seats and do a new bit of carpet for the front to modernise it. Keep the old carpet as a template and have the new piece's edges overlock stitched to stop fraying.

  • @susanjones119
    @susanjones119 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    My thoughts are just where you step inside the door you could leave the flooring the same, so it is wipeable from wet, grass, mud, and carpet from the kitchen area down to the table area. We had caravans and especially in this country we do get a lot of wet weather and a lot of campsites are lawned areas. Just my opinion, hope it helps. Good job by the way.

  • @essexdavenorton
    @essexdavenorton 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    I don’t think the carpet would be suitable or practical as it would get very dirty when you’re out in the middle of nowhere stick some nice laminate flooring down there it’s pretty cheap easy to fit and it will cover up the lumps and bumps on the floor as well and easy to keep clean good work on the cleaning looks really nice

  • @manicmasterofmetal2620
    @manicmasterofmetal2620 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    That camper looks like something perfect for the grey nomads. Old folks are generally very clean folk when it comes to their travelling vehicles so a very nice new carpet floor would absolutely make the inside of this van pop. I think the camper would sell a lot quicker with a nice carpet floor in it. Also... some nice fluffy comfy lambswool seat covers to cover up those horrible seats.. yeah... Great content guys. I have a better day when you post a vid.

  • @thomasfrancis5747

    Jennychem have been going a while - amazed they let the Caravan Cleaner go out the door with such an obvious typo on the label. Do they do an equivalent to G101 and is it as good? Again, what's it like under the bonnet? Don't forget to clean out the inside of the exterior cupboards, eg gas bottle storage. Personally I would just clean that front carpet (which is original and not worn) and put some clear antislip roll over the existing vinyl floor - carpet might not be good in a cooking area due to food spills - changing just part of the colourway would IMO look a bit odd and suggest something is being hidden?

    A very tidy motor home but of course a good few years old. I wouldn't spend a lot on the floor - anyone buying can easily see how to fix that to their own taste. I see your point about the front seats and some tidy covers might make the van look younger. If I bought the van the olnly upgrade I would make would be some solar on the roof.

    • @whu58
      @whu58 2 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      You are quite correct never to use a pressure washer because the seams on vehicles of that age shrink over time and you get water ingress - an initial clean with a garden hose & soft brush & appropriate cleaning products is best - TIP; the best way to maintain the outside (every two months if not using a cover) is to use the services of a waterfed pole window cleaner who uses purified water (reverse osmosis) with a soft brush,

    I reckon putting a bit of carpet down in the back is a good idea and maybe use the same carpet to replace the cab carpet as well and just put some mats down.

    • @IanOS-UK
      @IanOS-UK 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes, we had a very similar motorhome to this and I never dared to pressure wash it, as the panel seals needed redoing periodically anyway. These things are built like caravans and flex a lot whilst moving, so as the sealant ages and loses elasticity, the risk of water ingress increases. We're going to go for a metal van conversion type of campervan next, as I grew tired of having to repair the thing every year! We loved it and had loads of fun all over the country and France, but mid 90s aged motorhomes do tend to need a lot of TLC...

    Don't put carpet down. A buyer will either think it's hiding problems or knock you down as they don't like the colour choice, or they may just think carpet is impractical. Put down a neutral lino. It's not expensive or beyond your skills to fit.

They have got a go fund me & are waiting for insurance to pay them out they might have enough money to purchase that only if your selling it ,they would have to find out how much to ship it to America it is doable depends how much the shipping costs & it takes approx 6 weeks to get to America it would gave to be shipped on a flat rack.The couples names is Emma & Alex ( Travel beans ) .

    I wouldn't do carpet! It would be better to use vinyl flooring and use the snap in click wood grain. Makes it look like wood floors. Plus easy cleaning . Also you use carpet runner or rubber one! Thats what I would do! Looks great so far 👍.

    It has certainly benefitted from the wash and brush up treatment. Not so surprising after the life it has suffered. When it is left so long, the muck almost becomes part of the paintwork. Getting it back to white would be great, but one heck of a load of work if you are polishing it all by hand, even with the power mop. Carpet could be nice, but not the domestic stuff used in houses. One of the tough automotive variety, that can be cleaned up, and will resist the wear and hazards of life. The better radio and a reversing camera would be great, especially if it covers the above ground aspects to detect low branches. However, this is all adding costs and time to the project, there are limits to the potential sale price you do not want to exceed.

    Superb project guys, it comes up really nice. I would suggest you use some pvc flooring (off the roll) to cover the floor. When u use a (stone)grey colour, it will really lift up the interior, as grey is already on the seats and cushions. Carpet seems nice, but in a camper of will get dirty quick, look at the carpet jou took from the cabin. Can 't wait for you to crack on!

    Suggest you visit a “new” caravan dealer to get some ideas on how to update the look and feel of the camper. However, at this point, once you’ve taken care of the mechanicals and passed MOT, suggest you sell it to some up and coming TH-camr as is.
