Sprite Alpine *Mini Update*

Finding Lino!!

Am not one to left the dust settle, I had a moment so got straight on with starting to clear out the caravan.


She is damp, with pools of water, the smell is very over-welling when you step into the van. She has been sitting unused for 20 years!!!


This is not the correct oven, and from a later date. We are hoping to replace the old 2 hob and grill, this may not work as the door is missing and lots of things changed for this oven....


This is a much later carpet, not the right colour for her yellow seating. Even if I loved it, its still got to come out as its wet, and holding in a lot of damp. 


I need to find a place to store these, as they are wet and have mold growing on them! I need to steam clean or jet wash but we just down have the warm weather at the moment....


 We found some 1970/80's towing mirrors which will match our tow car perfectly. 


There are lots of helpful items still in the van, a spare wheel, awning, aqua roll etc. Am not sure the battery will live, after 20 years.....


Finding lino, yay!! Am so happy to find her lino hidden away, Daisy has nothing original in her at all so this feels extra amazing to find. 

One of the old owners has banged in nails through the lino :( but am hoping once removed and cleaned these wont be that noticeable. They have also done something underneath outside....which am a bit worried about but I was on a time limit today so that will have to wait! 


The most important thing today while the sun was out, was to get rid of the carpet, and get some air moving in there again. I even locked my self out of the van, so I feel a change of locks coming on.....
