Greetings all
One topic I broached when I first joined was whether or not to update the interior of my camper. Nearly all the comments I got were against this My Euromobil has / had 2 single beds at the rear and a pull down over the front cab. I suffer with a dodgy shoulder so I always struggled getting in and out of the double and found it very awkward late at night. Our young daughters take the two beds at the back and even when I did try sleeping there, there was little to no room and I was left with about an inch to spare and a locker a few inches above my head. The kids are young and love sleeping in the double, the ladder is a big novelty to them, So myself and my wife decided to turn the room at the back in to a space for ourselves and modernise the rest of the camper while we were at it! I always wanted to paint the units, And after shopping around for a company to come in and do it, all the quotes were in the region's of €1800!! So with some time on our hands we set out to do it ourselves. It wasn't the most difficult of projects although it was time consuming. We used Johnstones Trade Ultra Sealer Primer & Johnstones Satin paint for top coats. I went to B&Q for the flooring which is a special adhesive laminate and quite cheap at €16 a packet. It looked so good that rather than wallpaper we decided to use it on the walls too! Just waiting for new curtains to arrive then I will get the seats reupholstered and we will be all set! We went with a mix of grey and white paint in the front and kitchen areas, I will post more pictures later
