It's the same as you would use on a bathroom. But not hollow panels. There's a company. MB panels based in Middlesbrough I believe. There are other suppliers. The panels come in different sizes we used 600x2400 and 1000x2400 cutting down to suit.

Fab renovation. We looked at static just this morning with a view to a full refurb. Where is this site? you got a bargain there £5,000 for a static, the one we looked at was nearly £7,000 but it was smaller than we wanted & very old over 20 years

Hi Mark, looks nice and fresh. Really like the configuration. I'm taking on my parents van next year due to increasing costs, could do with a full refurb. I was wanting to change the windows at the front, they're similar to yours now, but would like to put in French doors. Also a new style roof and refresh the outside. Possibly cladding. Is that possible?

terrific job mate, I don't do fb and given my caravan is older and I bought it cheap not sure it would be cost effective but would definitely consider a full refurb depending on costs, especially as I have a 2 bedroom and find the master tight and don't really need to twin so would probably prefer larger master and bigger open plan kitchen living room area :)

If I move the dogs bed or sofa etc it's wet underneath. Is this purely the fact I've not insulated the underneath?
