Happy new year with a sneak peak of the Elddis and now it’s taking shape. Painting is still a way off, getting primer on has changed the way it looks. #mycaravanlife #elddis #elddiscaravan #caravans #caravanlife #caravanning #respray #spraypainting #caravanrenovation #renovationproject Elddis, Buccaneer & Xplore: Motorhomes, Campervans & Touring Caravans Caravan and Motorhome ClubPractical CaravanRetro Camping Club
Elddis, gets a new roof light, this ones had it. The roof light needs replacing but a new replacement needs a bigger hole, so out with the old and….respray for a new, bigger, better much nicer roof light and one with a black out blind! This will be my 3rd roof light hole I’ve had to cut in a classic caravan, all easily done with the confidence to hack away at the old aluminium and fit a new roof light to the roof of a pride and joy. #mycaravanlife #rooflight #rooflights #roofcutting #painting #cuttingshapes #caravanlife #caravanningblog #vintagecaravan #elddiscaravan #elddis #vintagecaravan #vintagecaravanrenovation #renovation #caravane #oldtimer #oldtimercaravan #handsongay #handsondesign #handsonactivities Caravan and Motorhome Club Elddis, Buccaneer & Xplore: Motorhomes, Campervans & Touring Caravans Campingandcaravanningclub.co.ukDometic Retro Camping Club Practical Caravan

The end is near and the sander hears its end. Just a few more bits left and then the windows to remove for painting and resealing. Keep watching to see the results of this project that I am actually loving but can’t wait to see finished. #mycaravanlife #elddis #elddiscaravan #elddiscyclone #elddiscaravans #caravanning #caravanlife #caravanlifestyle #projectmanagement #projectmanager #projectvanlife #ProjectUpdate #renovationideas #tenovation #renovationproject #renovationinspiration #videoediting #videooftheday #elddis_compass_buccaneerexplore #gayguysuk #gay #insta #video #instagram #gaycaravanner Retro Camping Club Caravan and Motorhome Club Elddis, Buccaneer & Xplore: Motorhomes, Campervans & Touring Caravans
The rotten is removed to make way for any drying stages needed and new wood to be cut to size. The old piece of food is good enough to take measurements front but isn’t good enough for the handle to screw to given the rot. Now to buy new wood. #mycaravanlife #caravanlifestyle #caravanlife #caravanliving #caravanlove #caravanlifestyle🔥🌈🏖️🌅🏜️🏝️🏞️⛱️🌋🏕️ #caravanlifeuk #caravanlifeforever #caravanning #caravanrestoration #cheltenhamcaravan #springboks #vintagecaravan #vintagecaravanrestoration #restoration #gay #gayuk #instagay #gayguysuk #classiccaravan #retrocaravan #retrocamping #retrocampingclub Caravan and Motorhome Club.

Sadly I’ve had to make use of my @candmclub caravan insurance due to a broken front window. I’ve no idea when the damage occurred but thankfully the #caravanandmotorhomeclub insurance approved the claim quickly, they passed the claim to askwick claims who came out to inspect the caravan. The first was the cris number but the second was that the Alko wheels locks were fitted inline insurance stipulations for the inspection time, of course they are fitted. Of course it was also fitted with work, Leeds Caravan Centre along with my colleagues who I had to coax into being on video. Second half of the video to follow tomorrow. #mycaravanlife #ourcaravanlife #caravan #caravanlife #insuranceclaim #caravaninsurance #caravanrepairs #newwindow #baileycaravan #colleagues #working Caravan and Motorhome Club Bailey of Bristol AL-KO Caravaning Leeds Caravan Centre
A car review for some Sunday evening watching. My option on towing, something I really enjoy doing. I did get bored on the journey down to Cornwall and this passed an hour, obvs a few take were involved, this was back in august. The car is actually my old car (I sold it to a good friend meaning I still get to drive it every now and then) The car is a 2012 Volvo V60 R-Design D3 2.0 diesel 5 cylinder automatic, two wheel drive with a max tow of 1600KG. The caravan is a 1971 Cheltenham Springbok weighing around 1200kg at least around that area, it’s had a few repairs since. #mycaravanlife #caravantowing #towing #volvotowing #caravanninglife #trailertowing #videoreview #reviewers Caravan and Motorhome Club Volvo Car UK Practical Caravan
It’s that time of year where I go and pick up the caravan from the caravan site in North Yorkshire, he’s had a good season again. #mycaravanlife #northyorkshire #northyorkshiremoors #caravansite #caravanningblog #caravanity Bailey of Bristol Leeds Caravan Centre Vertu Land Rover
My #ThrowbackThursday post to January 2021 and the start of my second Cheltenham rebuild! It didn’t expect the caravan to be so rotten but here I am, starting it, a lot has happened in the time since and I’m not onto continuing the sanding of the paintwork, hopefully to make its return to caravanning in 2024! #mycaravanlife #caravanlifestyle #caravans #caravanlife #caravanrestoration #cheltenhamcaravan #cheltenhamfawn Retro Camping Club Caravan and Motorhome Club Pamela Petre
Another first for me, a quick video run around this amazingly small but well appointed ‘24 Xplore 304. I love these caravans, lightweight 4 berth at 1070KG laden, compact at 18’2 long (including A frame) with a great price tag. These can be towed by just about any small car meaning no large vehicles needed. This 304 comes with SE pack, microwave and external locker as standard, upgrades to the standard model but upgrades that are needed. Drop me a message if this seems you! #mycaravanlife #xplore #xplorecaravan #xplore304 #smallcaravan #lightweightcaravan #brandnew #brandnewcaravan ##elddiscaravan #explorepage #explore #outdoors #walkaround #walkaroundvideo #insta #instagram #instacaravan Caravan and Motorhome Club Elddis, Buccaneer & Xplore: Motorhomes, Campervans & Touring Caravans Leeds Caravan Centre
What should have been a straightforward reseal after it’s rebuild just over two years ago with its previous owners (they paid someone) but quickly turned into a rebuild….more to follow. #mycaravanlife #caravanrepairsandservice #caravansofinsta #mycaravanlife #CaravanRepairs #caravanlifestyle #classiccaravan #caravanlife #vintage #vintagecaravan #classiccaravan #cheltenhamcaravan #resealing Caravan and Motorhome Club Retro Camping Club Retro Camping Club
What a view! This caravan site is an amazing place to stay, lovely owners, lovely site and amazing views. There are walks straight from the site, we did a couple of the walks and loved them. We didn’t use the car for three whole days! Very peaceful stay with plenty to see and watch flying over.
Highly recommended, we will be returning to this site.
Slightly bias, the Bailey of Bristol Pamplona is the caravan for me, twin axle, fixed island bed, 6ft length bench seats, it’s a caravan that works for couples, families, visitors and doggy parents. #mycaravanlife #caravanlife #caravanning #baileycaravan #baileyofbristol #insta #instagram #instagood #caravanshow Caravan and Motorhome Club Practical Caravan Caravan magazine Caravangard

Paint! It’s finally happening, the paint process is making way. It’s taken way too long to get to this stage and I’ve still got a way to go in sanding but it feels so good to be at least etch primer painting the metal trims. Primer onto all the trims next bit sanding and filling of the caravan needs to happen first. #mycaravanlife #cheltenhamfawn #cheltenhamcaravan #caravan #caravanlifestyle #sanding #respray #caravanlife #caravanrestoration #respray #paintrespray #spraypaint Caravan and Motorhome Club Practical Caravan Caravan magazine Pamela Petre Retro Camping Club Retro Camping Club
A late evening delivery to North Yorkshire. I had to stop to enjoy the peace, quiet and if you have your sound on, sheep 😂 #mycaravanlife #caravan #caravandelivery #caravanlife #caravanlifestyle #compasscaravan Caravan and Motorhome Club Elddis, Compass, Buccaneer & Xplore: Motorhomes & Touring Caravans
Holidays by the waters edge I love, the sounds of the water, fold life and occasional fish noise makes for a relaxing stay. Note the spooky looking growth on the tree, that’s a super rare red moth that’s laid caterpillars, they’ve created the spooking looking web to protect them from the birds. They’re eating all the green growth which in turn will sadly kill the trees they’re covering, a strange sight. The caravan site itself is a firm favourite of mine.
