Welcome to TravellingK’s vintage caravan wishlist This store is all about my big project to renovate the broken down vintage caravan I foolishly bought. It’s basically an empty shell, so will need a lot of work. Do you want to help get the project finished? You can buy a specific item below that I’ll need for this renovation and if you like, I shall mention your name in the appropriate video. This project wouldn’t be possible without you – a big thank you!
All prices are in US dollars.

I've realised water is getting in through the window seals! Thought this product would work the best for me...
$12.68
Fills up the 20L onboard tank. I need this now to add to the walls before I can add the lining.
$40.22
I also want a water tank that sits next to the caravan! Two ways to get water onboard. Is there a way to make it black?
$26.82
To keep the hatches open or closed... would be nice to have them not slam in the wind!
$13.37
A 12v light switch for by the door. This will control the outside light and the 'dining room' light. One of my pet pevs with my current caravan is coming in at night and reaching up to the base of the main light, attempting to find the tiny switch in the dark.
$20.24
Starting to think more about the electrics! This will be by the door to sort out this side of the caravan. Burnsco: Fuse holder suitable for DC circuits.
$26.98
Premium 12v marine cable for wiring an RV. 15 metres of 5mm wiring. I'm already starting to plan the interior wiring! This would be from Burnsco.
$22.39
The thinner wiring - premium marine cable for wiring an RV. 12 volt 2mm. I'm already starting to plan the interior wiring! This would be from Burnsco.
$24.28
I think I should get the correct undercoat for the bottom section of the caravan. I'm hoping I can get away with less paint than the top coat.
$20.13
This is for the bottom part of the outside. I was thinking of sticking with the same paint brand as the roof, but a lot of advice I've been given is to use boat paint... International looks great, but Altex is a little more affordable. Still not sure what colour I'll use. I wanted a dark grey for the bottom part, but the colours are limited. Apparently this will give a high gloss enamel finish and I'm keen to try this brush technique viewers have mentioned!
$116.61
Since I've decided to paint the top sides of the caravan, I've decided to do it in the same aluminium paint as the roof. Keep it consistent! I've learnt from the roof that I'll actually need 4L for this. From Bunnings again and shall break up the cost of NZ$149.
$50.00
There is some interior wood that could become a problem in the future. Sound like I could use this product to stop the wood from disintegrating! It says: epoxy based material that is best suited as a wood saturation system to help harden, densify and seal out moisture.
$34.09
I'll still want to connect to 240v power too and need to replace the old one. Thinking this will sit in a little cabinet the caravan already has! From RV Mega.
$27.29
I'm a huge fan of solar and have been eyeing this kit that I could install myself. The retail price is $1,850.00 which includes a 315w Solar panel, 12v200ah Deep cycle Gel battery, MPPT Charge controller and 600W Inverter. I'm going to break this cost down to many many parts! From Grid Free
$34.09
Talking to Burnsco, this is apparently the paint to use to seal the roof! They don't normally stock it in their stores but they've gone and ordered it for me which is really nice of them.
$107.49
I'm about to start painting the roof! I think the best option for me is to use a roller??
$21.67
Just a small tin for the metal parts that aren't covered with paint yet. This primer will be used right before the epoxy enamel is added.
$14.85
An expensive one... replacing the front window. I've got a $520 quote, but currently getting another. I've broken down this item into six seperate contributions to be close to what it might cost. Really interesting reading everyones comments on the 'smashed' video. I'm currently leaning towards replacing with glass again because safetly glass becomes extremely expensive. Thinking of adding a film to stop it damaging anything if it does break again. Still need to research about the film too!
$50.00
To seal everything - first task is adding metal strips back on exterior sides of caravan. Will need a lot of these! From Bunnings.
$29.90
Paint Stripper for external sides of caravan. From Bunnings.
$34.95
To seal the roof of the caravan to prevent leaking. From RV World Store.
