The Bathroom






This photo is on it's side but you can see the extent of the damage due to water ingress via the rail on the outside of the van.




To get the bathroom window sorted, which involved a complete strip back to the aluminium skin (carefully) removing the boarding and the insulation. This revealed a large amount of water had been coming in from the rails on the outside (another job loomed). Once the rails had been replaced with new mastic and screws, over a couple of weeks I checked there was no water coming in,




then used Unibond to stick new battening where the old rotten wood once was. Then is was a case of plywood shaped to fit the ‘hole’ and new wallpaper, a daunting job that was surprisingly straightforward as I took my time.(and rested between stages).

I then added new taps, new corner sink (bought from Ebay.) a new shower head from a breakers , 12v spotlight, and a new storage cabinet bought from a supermarket. Onto the next job.
