Re: Building My Home Made Caravan by JR
Hi again Darren,
Most vans really on their interior cupboards and the like to give the van body structural strength, that’s the reason I added an arch in my van to increase structural strength.
Many years ago I did major mods to my old Jayco pop top and removed many cupboards to carry out the work, one side of the van was quivering and shaking until the cupboards were refitted. Don’t know if you have seen one of those demolition derbies on TV with caravans but usually the interior has been stripped out and it is easy to see how weak they are as the body swings and sways and that is before they are hit.
Even though you are looking at building a van much different to mine just drop me a PM any time you need any information that I may be able to help with.
