Our Touring Past

Hi Robert and Nicola. Well things have changed, and for the better I see. I have a New Zealand book called Vantastic and I noticed the Lilliput caravans when I first read it.

Hello Richard and fellow members, It has been some time since I last placed some input on the forums and a lot has changed on this side of the Tassie.

Well the reclading of one side is almost complete ready for the trim and painting. I used 4mm lightweight caboon with a 2 pot expozy and it looks great. The fram seems to be in very good condition which is very pleasing. Will post some more photos.

Thanks Richard.

Thank You for your help Richard.
I have sent the photo to you showing the side of the caravan. We have both glues you mention so will use the Aquadere.
Now all I need is to know what thickness of material to use.
Thanks Again
Regards
Robert
