The replacement of light lenses is purely cosmetic and just makes it look fresher on the outside, the replacement of the carpet for vinyl is an alternative to trying to get a 24 year old carpet looking new, if I come in on budget it will be less than £2k for a van that will last for a long time, and self satisfaction of knowing the van inside out.

I am indulging in a spend on a motor mover, but that just helps due to health etc, and I am not counting that in the budget, after all motor mover can be removed and kept/sold on if needs be.

Awning is the best bargain though. Attached picture of actual awning.

Regarding sites we have no preferences, as long as they are not all singing and dancing with club houses and kids clubs ...... old gits on site lol

The basic caravan site with shower block and green spaces would suit me and my son Keith, but the wife and daughter want,”things to do and entertainment “. I feel there may be half and half holidays coming on.
