Reupholstery and new curtains - a novice's question

Morning all
We're picking u our new 2001 Eriba Troll 530GT tomorrow - our first ever caravan, so rather over-excited here at the moment.

Have been poring over various threads on the forum, and was massively impressed at some of the interiors shown in the Picture Gallery. I'll be looking to reupholster the cushions and get new curtains made, but just wanted to know whether it would be worth keeping originals (they're in great order).

The reason I ask is that should we ever need to sell the caravan, would the original covers be preferable to new to a discerning Eriba fan.

Diolch

It's all a matter of taste and personal preference and as it is your caravan, you are free to do anything you like to it.

The only caveat is that when you do want to sell, don't be surprised if prospective purchasers' don't like your choices.

As you say, there have been some lovely interiors featured in the gallery but there have also (in my opinion at least) been some right stinkers. Keeping things original is certainly the safest option if resale is a concern.

The safe option is to keep the originals somewhere safe, Remember one mans tasteful is another mans horrendous.

Some people like originality so fold them all nicely and store them somewhere safe then when the van moves on there is a choice of not only 2 colour schemes but also to be original or not.
