Caravan Tips
A place for all my caravan renovation tips and advice — seeing as I’ve unwittingly turned into a caravan makeover queen!
When we bought Dolly 1 —many moons ago— caravan makeovers just weren’t a thing (and neither was Pinterest, come to think of it!).
There was no information, readily available, on touring caravan refurbishment; and I had no idea how to paint caravan cupboards or what paint was suitable for caravan interiors.
Our first vintage caravan makeover was simply borne out of a desire to make an ugly little box on wheels more beautiful; to create a comfy, cosy little home from home, that we could go to festivals or camping in.
Since then — and particularly since Pinterest exploded — caravan renovation is a very hot topic.
I’m constantly being asked ‘how do you modernize a caravan? ‘ and my blog is the go to resource for doing up a caravan.
This section has all of my top tips. Everything from what caravan to buy, to caravan renovation posts; everything from caravan upholstery to the paint suitable for caravan interior.
We’re currently doing up our third van — Dolly 3 — so watch this space. Plenty more caravan makeover before and afters on the way!
