So you have the car or the van and the parts to restore your Dormobile but what skills do you need to actually carry out the job?
Doing up a Dormobile is hard work and isn’t the easiest of tasks to undertake but when it is done it will be hugely rewarding to drive around in your done up Dormobile.
It often requires a certain level of carpentry skills as most furniture will be built from wood so things like hammers and drills are essential kit needed while a jigsaw is useful for rounding off corners and fitting stuff round corners.
If you are going to put a gas stove or do any plumbing or wiring and you are not skilled in this area it is vital to get professional help as these can be dangerous if they go wrong.
And if the van or car needs mechanical work then the basics of car repair will be useful too while sewing skills can help fit out the interior with cushion covers and curtains etc.
But probably the biggest skill needed is imagination as the world is really your oyster when it comes to doing up a Dormobile. There is although a really supportive network of fellow Dormobile owners online with the Dormobile owners club in particular hosting lively discussion boards and if you want to do it to your vehicle it is likely someone else does or has done it so it is worth checking the boards out. There is most likely to be someone who can answer your questions
