    Came across your channel looking at how to renovate an older caravan. Just about to pick up an older model. We are both nearly 60 years old, never tired or had a caravan but so looking forward to it. Brilliant hack for the seat covers cushion ❤

    the seat covers certainly improve the look, using velcro rather than glue would've made the covers removable for washing

    I love the handles. I have just got a caravan which I haven't actually seen yet but my sister wouldn't have got it if it had been horrible. I love your handles and I will be nicking that idea. I can't wait to watch the rest. I started watching and then only remembered when my sister told me about the one she got for me....I am excited! If it turns out good I will post it either here or pictures on Instagram. Then you can see all the copying I did...no really I love the handles but have my own ideas. Having said that, I still want to see what you did! I am really enjoying this!

    Nice work on the caravan! How permanent is its location? If it's going out at any point are you going to shade the tires, erm, *tyres* (sorry, American... 🙄) to prevent UV damage? If it's not going to move again, it may be wise to put the frame on jack stands. If the tyres fail while the stabilizers are deployed they will likely be damaged; they aren't meant to support the weight. Nice renovation work! You mentioned the negative comments previously, but personally I love the color -- *colour*! 😉

    I take it all back when I said the original didn’t look like it needed changing. It looks so stylish, modern , bright and breezy. When you started painting the cupboards white I was exhausted just watching you because of the amount of time it would take to complete but it looks brilliant. Do another video of it all complete and what it looks like with the bed pulled out. Also would you when no family and friends are staying use it as an office and use the van just for the kitchen and bedroom?

    Looks epic, however I don't think glueing the covers was a good plan. What happens when they get dirty as indeed they will? If you are short on fabric and cannot make full covers, then wide elastic straps with buttons and buttonholes, or the dreaded velcro, would secure them well at the underside and enable them to be easily washed.

    Told you they were nice. 😃😄 Great with tan. Curtains/drapes? What a super idea!! If the cushions have wood on the bottom, you could use a staple gun on the fabric (cloth) to the frame on the bottom to make it tight. I reupholstered several bits of furniture that way. Came out nice and tight. Looks great. You are genius, Miss Bee. Drapes are much cheaper than cloth or a reupholsterer. Your van came out awesome, though. Loved it. Could use drapes on the leather futon couch, after taping it together, too. Love the awesome awning. It looks screened in, is it? Soo clever, all of it. Love you two, am dying to see it all finished.
