    I’ve only watched a few of your videos but from what I’ve seen is a gentleman that knows what he is doing and also is very knowledgeable, please accept my gratitude for the job that you are doing. 🙏

    Instead of wiping the windows, try a Karcher Window Vac, much easier and faster . Im very impressed with your description of the van , it is so beautiful.

    Yay 🤗🤩🥳good to see you Cameron 🎉beautiful vintage caravan. Such great attention to detail, love 💕 it. I’ve always been told old caravans are heavier to tow, thank you for correcting that theory. 🤗🥳

    • @NotAnotherWhiteBox
      @NotAnotherWhiteBox  Рік тому

      Thank you ❤ Yes they’re amazingly light but well made. It must be the equipment that new caravans have that makes them so heavy 🤷🏻‍♀️

    Great to see you back, Cameron. Love the Cheltenham. I remember these when we used to caravan in my childhood in the 70s and they always shouted quality. I am sure you will both enjoy it immensely.

    My first caravan holiday was back in the early sixties on a site in swanage. The weather was sunny accept for a heavy storm one evening, yes the caravan leaked. nice to see you do not have the same problem.

    Hello Cameran, beautiful caravan in a new resurrection, perfectly implemented by you. Better than new. Keep it up, we're waiting for new information. I'm Dieter from Germany and I own a Dutch "kip" 415QB, bought by my Grandfather 1971. In the foreseeable future I will be restoring a "kip K 550 from 1973, extremely rare version with a "lantern roof"💪🏻🛠️😃

    It’s super cute, the interior is great, I actually love the white, it makes it feel light and airy and open inside. I can’t wait to see the renovation processes, before and afters!

  • @rubberdc

    I like the lights in the leaves , yes I thought strange at first but as I watched i got used to them .

  • @NOWThatsRichy
    @NOWThatsRichy Рік тому +1

    That's a nice restoration, looks quite cosy inside, although personally I wouldn't have chosen white upholstery, especially if you had been to some of the very muddy sites we went to years ago!!
    I noticed the van has a door on both sides, not seen that on a caravan before, I wonder if they did that so that the same layouts could be used for export models.
    Love the china cabinet with the glass doors, gives it a nice 'cottage' feel!

    These look old fashioned now, but my friends had one in the 1970's and it looked old fashioned then! It's definitely cool though.

    Fantastic job guys/Cameron, loving the jungle (more jungle than xmas wreath to me)/tropical paradise look. Never thought I'd hear someone say "bougie" in a caravan video... enjoyed the various jokes/comments too ;-) PS Think the washing up bowl divide is also a mainland Europe/UK thing i.e. us Brits are a bit "special" ;-) PPS Bet the axle being that far back also has a huge amount to do with the stability. Good luck with renovations phase 2.

    • @NotAnotherWhiteBox
      @NotAnotherWhiteBox  Рік тому +1

      Haha glad you enjoyed it, I make jokes to keep myself entertained, so happy that someone else appreciates them too 😂 From what I’ve seen in Europe, their washing up bowl game is stronger than ours; I first saw a washing up bowl with a built in drain plug in the Netherlands and they’ve just started to filter in here. Though I don’t think it’s just a given that everywhere has them. Thanks for the comments about the caravan, “jungle” was kind of what we were aiming for rather than “Christmas” 🤣 The far back axle helps, but the nose weight isn’t excessive. Cheltenham set the standard for how a caravan should tow back in their heyday.

    • @CaraVanOlogywithBecky
      @CaraVanOlogywithBecky Рік тому

      @@NotAnotherWhiteBox I feel a non serious/trying to avoid excessive stereotypes pub quiz question of guess the nationality of this caravaner by the strength of their washing up bowl and socks + crocs/birks/sandals game ;-) I have a bowl, actually 2 (the tow van has a mini one) with plugs in… but my Greek husband is totally perplexed by the entire concept, thus we’ve never had one in the house. Our totally different approaches to washing up were quite noticeable eons ago, these days we’ve merged the best and worst of both cultures and bought a dishwasher for the house ;-)

    Delightful video and takes me back to my parents and my early caravanning days: Cheltenham, Safari, Winchester, Carlight, Fairhome, Paladin, Eccles, so many lovely caravans of distinctive designs and hardly a white caravan about. Thanks for your videos, very entertaining, informative and interesting. 👍👍
