Hi All
Im about to completely strip out my devon campining interior to bare shell with the intention of giving it a bit of a refurb and a slight modernisation - new electrics, new floors, re-uphoslster, new carpet trims but keeping the original cupboards / layout etc.
ive got loads of info / ideas from here but Is there anything in particular i should / should not do?
Is it fairly easy to strip down put back together if done methodically?
cheers
matt

Re: strip - refit
Go for it.
Plenty of insulation makes quite a difference to how the van feels. Maybe it's just in my head but knowing you've insulated everything yourself makes it feel snug. Take photos as you go. 1 to remind you of how things go back together and 2 so we can see too.
When you refit extra fixings won't go amiss. Helps stop any little squeaks and rattles.
