Welcome to our new Caravan!!

This is the caravan in it's un modified state, we have
since added a bike rack on the a-frame
So, our new caravan is a Statesman Streamline 1982 pop-top. Inside it contains 3 bunks, a double bed that folds up to become a lounge, a full kitchen including a four burner stove and an oven. It also has an 90L fridge, which is a downgrade from our previous one, and we will have to learn to pack even better. It also has cupboards all around the caravan, just below where the roof comes down.

When we first got it, we immediately started to tweak it a bit to better suit us. We added a two bike carrier on the front. We also put some hooks up for towels, and made new curtains for the windows. We also made a big curtain to separate the back part of the caravan, and give the girls some quiet to get to sleep. Joel also made some wooden boxes to put the girls clothes in, as the shelves were too deep for easy access. We also picked up a new mattress for the double bed.

We all really like our new caravan, some of the main highlights being:

Our Amazing Kitchen
-Independent Suspension

The three girls bed, in an L-shaped formation. My bed does
not have a mattress as it had been removed, but I now have
one.
-Lighting is way, way brighter (double the number of lights compared to our Millard)

-Kitchen much better

-Comfortable Bed

-Lots of windows for sunlight

-Cupboards up high

-Bigger wheels

-Easier packing up (not a lot of ocky straps needed to secure things)

-A big oven, already cooked 2 cakes, cookies, muffins, bread, and a roast complete with crackling

- The design of bunks, being L shaped.

-Bit more insulated (perfect for the cold weather we are going to stay in)


-Lots of power points scattered around.




Mum and Dad's Bed, now permanently kept as a bed
(new mattress not yet on)

All in all, I hope you like our new caravan 'cause we certainly do!
