I'm rapidly approaching the point where I need to buy some windows, carpet, a cassette toilet, some stabilizer legs, wheels and tyres. That'll need money so it'll really slow things down.

I have a fair few bits left over from the ambulance build - none of the things on your list, mind - but definitely a few bits and bobs and sundries, especially wiring-related, and you're welcome to rummage through any & all of it.

landroversforever Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Mike, for the stabiliser legs.... no idea how expensive they are to buy.... would some scissor jacks bolted on be cheaper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Poore Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Innards of trailer jockey wheels? I can ask at CLH tomorrow if they've got any damaged / replaced ones you can have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Actually on the window front do you want some double glazed ones? I've got a stack of them in the garden from house renovations, might be a guessing game matching the windows with the frames but they're all there.

miketomcat Posted May 23, 2023 Author Share Posted May 23, 2023 You can pick up caravan legs for around £20 each and to be honest there isn't much that's better. Thanks but house double glazing is very heavy and I don't really want glass anyway. You can get caravan windows second hand quite cheap but I'd like the more modern flush fit type and they seem to start at £200 second hand.

Mike Much else in the rest of a caravan that would be useful? Thinking if it's worthwhile buying one for the windows/cooker etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Poore Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 I think Mike's able to pilfer higher quality stuff from work, at least I seem to remember him mentioning that either earlier in the thread or on another where he was discussing it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Isn't that excuse enough? Depends on how urgently you need them but @Retroanaconda is heading south towards mine in early July so perhaps he can be convinced. I'm sure my sister will be back and forth a bit as my parent's lab is due to drop some puppies tomorrow and my sister is having one. Also have a mate back and forth often but unreliably between me and Guildford. Unless there's someone coming down to Summer Sisters from that direction?
