Easy DIY Repairs

Many of us who have older vans have a dread of the worst possible scenario that can befall any caravan, the dreaded Caravan cancer, or damp rot as it is more commonly known. This was once thought to be the end of a caravans life, but due to several members of the ukcampsite.co.uk Fixed It club we now know that it is repairable no matter how hard a grip it has on our caravans.In order to appreciate just how easy this job is have a look at the following websites, all of the caravans had different degrees of damp and have now been repaired to very high standards. I have seen Als Parkers Swift before and after he and his wife set about the repairs and can honestly say that many dealers would be hard pushed to do an equally perfect job.
