@@feeandjohsrenovationshow iv been in the industry for 15 years working as a sole trader now its pretty much all I use is sika roof and gutter clear or white has a really good adhesion and good flex for when the van is in travel. When your ready to do the roof sheets or wall sheet if you decide to use a liquid nails find something with a high flex as the chassis flex you get while the van is in travel can crack the adhesion and cause the walls or roof to sag
Fi is really natural on the camera. I like the way she presents. I also think she did far more work than you Joh! Incidentally - I was watching a video yesterday on a guy from the US build his own little trailer. The corners had putty tape around them to seal them and then some trim over the top. Perhaps the glue stuff you found when you took the trim off is that? Did you get the welding done? It looks like you painted over that section so I'm guessing you did or else it'd have to be ground away. Looks like you're pretty much starting from scratch - I figured you'd just throw in a few new scatter cushions and be done with it haha. I also hate sikaflex. I always end up getting it all over me no matter how careful I am. Great job and video as always.
Goodness, so glad you were thorough and stripped back the floor, and finding the cracks in your chassis, glad this can be remedied. Good job.
I haven’t done my flooring as of yet but the older caravans have asbestos in the flooring cutting it would put the particles in the air
Yes be very careful and always wear safety gear!
It’s called mastic under the edge mould it’s shit in our hot weather it drips out of the moulding and what’s left goes hard and brittle
Most of mine is now swapped out for sikaflex

Good advice, thanks. I was thinking of using plasterboard adhesive on the interior lining, thoughts?

Remeber the idea you had about making your own fridge pannel, I think you were on to something.

Thanks Rich! Yes she did heaps, I’m blaming my bad back 😉
The paint is easy to sand back for welding, that will happen next episode 👍
Looks like you're having to pretty much build the caravan from scratch!
Sometimes you have to go backwards before going forwards!
Any thoughts on using a sandblaster to remove the rust?
Yes, if I had one I would have used it! Much better than hours of grinding or sanding.
