Topic: Old Caravan

[Mr Smith]

How awesome to have a caravan on your plot! - I too was just going to ask for some piccies! :P

Don't talk like a thingy, who wants some old crap like  a caravan on an a allotment site, if you do have the pleasure and permission to have one take the fak-in thing with you when you leave and don't leave it for others to clean up,

We have a VW Campervan on our site... that hasn't moved since the early '80's...  :-X

Lincoln City Council ban caravans from there plots. Shame, they make good lotty sheds with all mod cons, and somewhere to hide if it rains.

The plot already has a good cabin (or it will be once I've cleaned it out). It has lots of windows so I reckon I could quite easily turn it into a good potting shed. Therefore I have no need (or want) for the van.

As for photo's, I don't have any of it except the odd one on my site (link in sig) but these don't show all the van.

Well after all it's up to you!! it is your plot, have you contacted scrap people to ask them? you might as well make a few bob :D

I've been told that there's not a lot of money in them. Apparently they are mainly wood with sheet alloy to plate it, and apparently that amount doesn't fetch much.

I think what I will do is dismantle it bit by bit, reusing the wood where I can, burning what I can't reuse, and putting the rest in the skip when the allotment gets another one.

If it's got a fridge and/or a sink/drainer/stove thingy in it they will fetch money on ebay.... even an old 12v/gas RM120 will go for at least 50 quid if it still works, more if it also has the vents and chimney, sell it as a set to someone building their own camper van, stove/sink/drainer/grills go for about 30 or so.... If it's got an inside gas locker then that is worth something, or if the external one has decent bottle restrains that can be reused.....
