Re: Devon interior
Hi,
We have an 1986 Devon with a brown and cream interior, i hope i can be of some help to you however it will take me a couple of day to get the pictures taken and posted. Our fridge is behind the drivers seat and under the sink, it has a end panel boxing the fridge in. I will take pics tomorrow in the daylight.
Cheers Peter.

Re: Devon interior
Here are a the pics I promised of my 86 Devon (please excuse the mess). Hope these are of some use to you, if there is something I have missed or unclear just let me know.



On the under side of the table notice the peg as this is used for securing the table in the storage position

The peg fits into this bractet behind the buddy seat and sits on top of the buddy seat securing bracket

So the table sit in place like this

Buddy seat/box in folded out position

Securing bracket for the seat, as previously mentioned the table sits upon this bracket.

The seat hooks under the top lip of the bracket







The table leg fits within the plastic support for the rear part of the rock n roll bed

Re: Devon interior
It's no wonder Devon loved fitting out T25's.
and no wonder they sold so many

Re: Devon interior
Nice! Now I know what to aim for with mine... didn't realise I had bits missing until seeing these

Re: Devon interior
Nice pictures of the interior. Really good condition and well looked after.
I have an 83 which looks almost the same. One difference is that the table looks a little squarer and we store it in the back in an indentation in the unit that also holds the pole. In reality, I use that storage space for a camping table for outside and the table top just sits in the back with all the other junk when underway. I will have to see if it fits in the place you use. The door hinges were rather loose when I got the van and I have reset them in the flaking hardboard with superglue. It has sorted them out for now but they are still rather weak. Any suggestions?
The blue tubing that fits in the water container tended to crease and stop the flow. The nearest substitute I could find was clear tubing from a garden centre. Very cheap and also useful for syphoning home brew.
One headache I have is the fridge. It does not work and the local caravan dealers, who were more than happy to look at it, said that because it and the cooker have rubber tubing it is against the latest regs and would have to be replaced first. They were a bit vague about the price but in view of the age of the van said they were happy to look at it if I could get the fridge out and bring it over to them in the car. I have sweated my nuts off but cannot get the damned thing out. It seems to be bolted in somehow but I just can't see where. I am not technically minded so I am sure this sounds rather lame to those of you who can strip an engine blindfolded but it does bug me that I have a fridge that I just can't use.
Any help appreciated.

Re: Devon interior
The devon fridge is normally screwed into the side from the cupboard to the right, and sometimes there is a screw to the left of it fromt he outside of the unit. You also need to disconect the flu.
They really really are simple to service, someone recently put a very good video on here of hor to do it.
Here are a couple more pics from my devon moonraker, obviouslt missing the wardrobe, which I can't get hold of for love nor money, oh and its been retrimmed a few years ago.







If there is anything inparticular you want pics of let me know and I'll try to take some

Re: Devon interior
Nice photos Andrew. And I thought it was just me that left beer and wine bottles, clothes etc, all over the van!
Mine is being M.O.T.'d and serviced today so I will have a look for those screws when it gets back. I should really have looked for that sort of thing.
I see you store the table behind the driver's seat. I will have to check on the amount of space available.
