Hey Jerri, my best advice is dont forget to enjoy and go camping even if everything on the caravel doesn't work perfectly. I think I took about 2 years to get everything working or upgraded on mine. I am not a handy person, so for the complicated stuff I had Uwe at
www.area63productions.com handle the complicated upgrades. Check out the blog section of his website and you will see the caravel he is working on now. Mine is the Caravel that he worked on in 2009. You might get some ideas from his work. I think the biggest issue for the old caravels is the axle and any water leaks from the vents/windows etc... Let me know if you have specific questions and keep me posted on your progress. Good luck, it will all be worth it!
