Refurbish a Static Caravan

Hi, i'm after some help please.

I am moving into a static caravan for a while to get some finances sorted and have found an affordable one. But the problem is it could do with a bit of refurb. I have been looking on the internet but haven't found much, and i do not trust my husband to do it.

The seating has been removed and would like to get a sofa unit to fit.

The shower unit and sink could do with replacing and the wall between the shower and toilet removed to make one big room.

The oven would need replacing soon but is not a priority.

There are no units in the living room but my current cabinets wouldn't fit, i'd need some storage units for the wall.

The bedroom could do with a fitted wardrobe and an overbed unit.

I know it sounds like a lot, and it is but i'd like to do it as cheaply as possible. I have looked on ebay already.

Any help or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

    nearly all equipment and furniture is specially made for caravans.
    very hard to get used parts cheap. and any trademan will charge the earth.

    my brother is a site manager for a holiday park and they hire specialist contract fitters.
    getting hold of one of them is prob your best bet. easy enough if you live nr the seaside.

    my brother used to sell off the old vans, complete, for 500 quid ish. but the transport cost are very high.
    Get some gorm.

    We used to have a static caravan that, apart from the kitchen area, had been gutted at some point. We just furnished it with ordinary (mainly secondhand) furniture, carefully chosen to be not too big!
