Yes they are, they originally came with four long legs for the sink unit, and one long and two short ones for the table.

As for the sink, I'm in the process of getting a price, from my GRP guy, for getting them re-made. Watch this space...

Re: Shelf/Area at the end of the van

Took a bit longer than planned but here they are: Sink Top.jpg SinkUnderside.jpg Mine has a hole and a clamp underneath for a tap of some sort. And I can confirm the drainer part should be on the left, given away by the curtain loops which run along under the front edge. It measures: Between 1624-16...

Sliding Carpet Problem

As many of you might have found, because of the sloping floor near the door, the carpet slides gradually away from the door. My original piece of threadbare carpet has the two popper studs fixed to it so you can fix it to the floor mounted studs. (Just visible in the photo) I've fixed mine another w...

Re: Fire extinguishers

Great price, the security you'll get for £7 it's a bargain. :thumbup: Just a side note, but with all the stands I put on at shows I insist that all exhibitors have at least a fire extinguisher or a red fire bucket, but preferably both, on display at all times. Caravan fires can spread faster than yo...

Re: Wanted Pictures of the Ansfold Kitchenpart ?

I think it will be difficult to find a usable secondhand Ansfold kitchen. These caravans are only broken up when they are totally worn out & disintegrating, it seems. There are specialist breakers for caravans, possibly worth Googling. Often seen on eBay, are portable camping kitchens of various ty...

Re: Roof lifting when windy!!!

Fraser, Thanks for 'raising' this point. :roll: I can't stress enough to everyone how important it is to have your straps done up at all times. During my many conversations with owners I know of several people who have learnt this lesson. I know of one Portafold that lost its roof on the motorway as...

Re: Shelf/Area at the end of the van

The only thing that I know were sold with Portafolds were the sink units. Big heavy GRP bench like things that had a sink in the middle and a drainer on one side. They also doubled as the childrens bunk, and they just sit on the shelves on each side wall. I'll try and take a picture at the weekend t...

Anders, You should keep all the heavy stuff over the axle if you can, check out: http://www.portafold.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=120 It's all about noseweights etc. I wouldn't go cutting a hole to fit your circuit breaker panel, do what I've done and build yourself an 'electrics' box for all yo...
