The interior walls were wallpapered then
painted white, and the floor was finished
off in black and white checkered vinyl, of

The outside of the caravan was then
given a brand new shiny paint job on
the outside and trimmed with 8mm RVS

“Over here in Europe it is normal that
there is a big case at the front of the
trailer”, explains Dirk, “but we replaced
this cargo box to make it look more
like the American trailers so I had two
polished gas tanks mounted on the
A-frame instead”.
But using a little bit of Dutch ingenuity, the
tanks do not actually contain any propane
gas and have been put to use for another
purpose, cut in half and used as a storage
area for the awning ropes and pegs.
