Hello, this is my first posting on this forum thought you would like to see our new project. I was wondering if anyone knows where I can get a skylight as one is missing. Thanks in advance for any info.

Hi, thanks for getting back to me. The skylight is 14"X14" square.
The caravan was for sale on E-bay so it was very likely this one you saw, I towed it home 170 miles and it towed beautifully! I will add more pictures as the restoration progresses, however the van is not in bad condition structurally. Damp around the missing skylight and there is a little bit of damage to the offside rear wall. Other than that solid, chassis and floor are in VGC.

Hello,
Is this the caravan from Powys Question
I see there is one advertised in the magazines still from this area.

How are you getting along with your caravan?
Looked like some of the interior was missing.Are you putting in some carpentry skills on the interior.

Lets see some photo`s of its progress.

Regards
Mark

Hi Mark, yes this the caravan from Powys and it is now in snowy North Yorkshire! The interior consisted of the pull out bed bases, sink unit, a few cupboards and half of the centre partition. There is certainly a lot missing but I have acquired a full set of sprung cushions from a matching caravan which were rescued by a lovely couple from Kent. (The wonders of the internet made this possible!) I have started to remove the bed bases, sink unit and hardboard ceiling/walls so that I can repair the damaged framework. Unfortunately the weather conditions have hindered our progress but we intend to start again as soon a we can and we will post more pictures. Thanks for your interest, Gareth.

STILL WANTED-ONE 14x14 SKYLIGHT LID IF ANYONE CAN PLEASE HELP THAT WOULD BE GREAT!!!
