So over the week ive ripped out the old kitchen unit, which was so nasty the glue from the laminate was oozing out all over the place. I've pulled up the floor, which was so rotten it snapped like balsa wood, and weighed the same. Removed the rear multivan plastic panel and the bed. the main cabin is now empty.
Unfortunately the van has shown up a few secrets. I suspect the water tank had been leaking. Behind the multivan panel lives metalworm. Luckily the sills are totally solid as is the outer skin. However the floor pan has rot all along that side. My friendly welder will do his stuff this week I hope.
Its a messy bit of the van to be honest. The rot had just reached the skin but only on the surface. The only part im slightly concerned about is the bottom if the pillar, where it has entered the sill. The lowest point has rot. This last pic was taken from inside the sill, looking forwards toward the pillar behind the front door. Being inside an otherwise good sill i doubt I can do anything with it, except maybe let it dry and spray some waxoil. Not even sure i can get to it enough to vactan. Any ideas?
