ooooooooo i would advertise it rather than scrap it !! actually thats not true.......ID KEEP IT !!

Stop it, alfie, I'm only just coming to terms with the thought of getting rid of it. I'd dearly love to keep it, I've had my fair share of classic cars in my time and Lurrve caravans and campervans, but it'd just sit there and rot some more, I know it. Even getting up to a hen-habitable standard would be too much work at the moment, although admittedly, it would be a super cool hen house. I'm afraid that when we try to move it, it'll just fall apart.

I'm willing to lay odds that if you replace that rozee, no one will say a thing. It's not as if there was nothing there before.

Not sure about putting chooks in it. Our egg man when we first came here used a static, but once red mites get into the cavities..:eek:

This is our current campervan - The Batmobile. She's a keeper!

Anyone wanna guess the Castle?

Is it too far gone to be made into a safe play house when the weather is better? You will want somewhere safe to secure kids in for site meetings. (my cats and dogs cause enough entertainment for these things). Eg today one cat gave the architect her chewed toy spider. Architect doesn't much like the cTs, and in fact is allergic to them. He is a clean and tidy kinda guy, and i think the cT spittle drenched toy spider was very close to his limit of endurance.

ROZEE............. if you can borrow/hire a low loader trailer with a winch you could possibly get it to the scrap yard. check with the scrap yard if they would take it first tho... BUT if you advertised it as a vintage caravan in need of TLC you may find an enthusiast would take it for free ???? when you weigh up the agro of transporting [dangerous?] for a few quid against some one taking it away ..END OF !... :j if they get scrap money then so be it....sometimes the end result is the same just easier to take the less agro route...:D

Hehe, I told you I love 'em. I'm not offering the second one to you though. She was our prize to ourselves when we discovered we were having twins :rotfl:

They're definately a daydream kind of thing, Rummer. My grandparents had a dormobile when I was a child so I have very fond memories of idyllic summer holidays with them that in my recollection were always warm, sunny and full of golden hay fields! (I'm sure they couldn't really have been so lovely, it's funny how your memory edits these things). Since then, I've always wanted one, but it took til we were in our forties to bite the bullet. TBH we haven't camped in it much since the babies were born but it's great for days out and we intend to do plenty stuff in it as the kids all get older.
