The window should be an easy job depending on year/model of caravan, it should remove from top rail once opened and fully lifted. You will have some stoppers/stays to remove, unclip/unscrew and then slide the window out Rich.
I'm not doing it Wes its going through the insurance

As above Andy, but I said I didnt want a new side put on for fear of it getting damp ingress. Plus the fact it wpuld increase the claim value, which would likely render the caravan a write iff, due to its age and value.. Tbh if they come back with that , I will just get the winndow replaced and fond someone to sort the gouges. No way I'm letting them write this off.

I had two small line dents Richard, both in different places. I ended up putting a dummy vent over one, and a reflector over the other. I know they are there, but no one else does.

I hope the insurance plays ball, and you get what you want. It would be silly to write the caravan off, as it looks otherwise in pristine condition.

It is Wes, like new. A few little dents here and there, but on the whole its mint. It still has a smell of fairly new about it inside, but its actualky 12 years old in September, we bought it brand new, so its worth alot more to us than its monetary value.

Morning Andy, morning all.

A bit cloudier here this morning compared to yesterday. Think it will brighten up later though

Out with the mower later and then the cat rescue this afternoon.

Blue sky! Not a cloud in sight.

Sadly tomorrow looks not to be so good. Thunderstorms predicted up the Western side of the country.

The list on the ZTT is long:

Alternator
A/C condenser and regas
Fan
Twin horns (PPD)
Replace steering wheel for one with less wear and cruise control
Fit cruise control
Replace the good but worn Alcantara seats with the lovely blue Mk2 ones I got from John.
I want to renovate the wheels myself but am coming round to the idea of getting them done.

Looking forward to good weather to get started.

I have a list that long for each of ours! Never ending isn’t it.

I have the grass to cut too (probably next weekend)
