Hi @FloTheCaravan

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's wonderful to have you join us, and thank you for sharing your amazing caravan renovation. 

What a fantastic transformation from an empty shell to a fully furnished caravan. It's amazing you've managed to fit so many appliances in such a tight space. I love your flooring and benchtop combo, it blends in so well with your white coloured walls. 

How long did it take you to renovate the entire caravan? What would your number one advice be to those members thinking of attempting such an involved project? 

If you have any other projects on the go, please don't hesitate to share them.

Again, thank you so much for sharing such an inspirational project.

Hi Eric 

Thank you ever so much for your kind words and interest in flos renovation. I’ve really enjoyed it so far. I’ve had Flo for just over 12months.. I’ve just pottered working on her so done thing when I can. She gets lots of use in our yard as a teenage retreat. But looking forward to taking her out and about. 

I’ve learnt so much since starting and carry so much more knowledge than before.. If someone I know was starting a van I’d say everything repairable, you have overwhelming parts and easy parts. But I’ve always said, progress is progress no matter how big or small each thing you do helps you the finish line even if you feel you haven’t done much as the boring jobs seems to take forever til you start to see progress! Let’s just say there’s been many a trips to bunnings during the process!
