Sunnydayz - so glad you have come way with lots of ideas for your caravan. We are coming 'home' to New Zealand for a holiday in Feb, staying at my husband's parent's home on the Coromandel. Looking forward to spending time at the beach, having fresh fish for dinner every night and introducing the younger children to Hokey Pokey ice cream!

HELLO ANN,We have a lease on an old caravan at a beautiful beachside in sunny Northland, New Zealand. It needs renovating badly and I came into this site to get ideas. I am leaving your site with millions of them, all thanks to your daughter wanting to do up a dingy old caravan like the one we have. It cannot be moved because of a large protected native tree which we have built a balcony around. Never thought of polystyrene boxes for insulation. Good luck for renovation to the outside. We used velcroe on black net for those mossies which we have an abundance of in summer time here. We glued velcroe to the sides of the window ledges and velcro on the netting and we can take if off to let breeze in when the mossies take off. My husband built a big deck outside and it gives us extra space for bbq and a lounge suite to enjoy the summer dayz. Best wishes to you and your lovely family. Sunnydayz-Northland New Zealand. (PS We are just across the creek from Aussie - home of the All Blacks and Silver Ferns and for a few years, the prestigious Americas Cup for sailing)

That is so wonderful! I think your daughter did an awesome job! I'd LOVE to allow our daughter to have our little "caravan" (we call them campers here in the States) but we are afraid the thing would blow away in a tornado even if it were tied down and we are soon going to get yelled at by our neighborhood covenants because we really aren't allowed to store it here!! We have to move it somewhere else! RATS! That was a nice little escape for me!
Have a lovely day and I can't wait to read that you have had your little bundle of joy!!!!!
Love,
Beth

Hi Ann
Your daughter has done a wonderful job on that renovation & deserves every bit of praise she is receiving. It's wonderful that it's made her think about interior designing. Glad you could find a lamp to match. I won a giveaway for a rug from Buysterrugs & am waiting for it's arrival. Thought I'd do a post when it arrives. If it's good I have a few other things I've been wanting to purchase & found on their site.
Hope you have a lovely day!
Renata :)
