Charlie BOB Conversion

My campervan was fully fitted when I bought it but it was riddled with damp and I have now had to rip everything out and remove all the boards that are rotting.
The biggest reason was that I am asthmatic and each time I went away in the van, I got a really bad chest infection so I had to either sell it, which I did not really want to do, or fix it.
So FIX IT was the option I have chosen.
Fingers crossed it was the right decision!!

Project Task Write-ups:

• 

  Roof

  Unfortunately I have now found damp in the roof boards as well so that is all going to have to come down as well. Hopefully getting that done this weekend.
