Time to upgrade the interior ...?

Post by Pwag20 »

I'm after some recommendations as the conversion of my interior was done in 1991 and whilst it still looks kind of ok the cupboard doors aren't staying shut (despite continual attention), the beds a bit of a chore to put down and it's definitely way past it's best. I'm in Folkestone, Kent and would be grateful for any recommendations for either a bit of an overhaul or compete new conversion. In terms of cost the former would be preferable but the later is also doable (I think!?).

I've Glastonbury and Latitude festival tickets this year and would love to get it attended to before either both or one of them but could also wait until after if needs be.

Thanks :D

Me and the wife decided to give our interior a lick of paint and a freshen up, two hours later and we had ripped everything out and are now going to do a complete rebuild inside. hopefully shouldn't be too hard, its nice to get everything out and give it a good clean, 34 years of dirt and grime behind all the units is never good :shock:
We just figured that if we rip it all out we have to replace it, so it gives you a kick up the a*se to do it!

I was revamping an old one but after my van was finished I couldnt help but go for a new option.

I used Starlight Campers who can fit or provide them built for self fit.

In a similar situation!!

I ripped out the interior and was thinking of carpeting the wardrobes and doing a new kitchen unit from scratch! Saw 2 vans at bus types with carpeted wardrobes and I was sold! Fresh, cheap and looked good!!

Take out the existing interior with care, u be surprised what you may reuse, and of course is good for templates!!
