My N126n renewal

[AlphaLori]

Good day, dear friends!

I'd want to show you our variant of Niewiadow's repair. It is currently in progress, so new images will be added.
Special thanks to your site for main ideas, and again sorry for English here .


We got N126 produced in 1988.


Previous owner tried to repair the internals, but made it too unsuccessfully. Bamboo walls were mounted on wooden bars 3x4cm, which are glued to 3cm styrofoam. So internal area was reduced by 6cm from each side (!!!) .


We decided to unmount this terrific construction,

as well as flooring (8mm OSB was corrupted and seemed too weak)



Using the experience of people here we covered corners and risky non-waterproof surfaces with "liquid-plastic" paint



Then enforced the floor with unmounted bars 3x4 (glued it perfectly with Poland-made Dragon)

Covered it with the 8mm polypropylene hydroisolation:


Cut the floor from 22mm OSB plate, and finally mounted it on
its place:




While I was screwing the floor,

my wife glued the depths in the walls with 1cm foam rubber (to lay the future carpeting smoother)

like that (used "liquid nails")


To relax and add our work aesthetic part we refined our wheels:
cleared

bought spray primer and silver paint

painted



After that the entire wagon (except roof) was thermo-isolated with 1cm foam rubber (glued on the same liquid nails)




Then the most funny moment has come: we choosed the carpeting and mounted it in our wagon (used rubber-based montage glue Tytan RB-22):




We stole the idea of ceiling made of PVC panels here



Because we hurried up to meet my wife's birthday in our first Niewiadow trip, we threw away hard work and made some decorations and comfort thigs like toilet shade and curtains. Yana sewed it perfectly:



After 1000 km of test trip our construction showed high reliability. Nothing had fallen off. Glues and other attachments are good.

Then we continued N126's repair with hatch repair. The same 1 cm foam-rubber has been glued

I replaced all the screws and washers with new ones with rubber layer (they all were rusty, rain water flawed throw them, and some of them I had to nag)




After mounting back it looked like this:


Next mission was to replace the died rubber sealant to a new one and cover the PVC edges with plastic corner.

the original sealant was unreal to find so we glued a cutted furniture sealant


The floor was covered with 4mm hydroisolation to make it warmer and finally hide roughnesses and screws hats


And then 2.5 mm linoleum has been placed on.


At the moment we are projecting the furniture and energy sources, so to be continued...

Good day, dear friends!

Hi

GREAT JOB

this is only what can I say

[Depeche]

What about another equipment like beds, kitchen, fridge or Truma? I am really suprised for your idea of walls. Many routes, sign of journeys, adventures I hope it is not a symbol of traffics in our cities

[bartosz]

Great Job, upholstery/covering of your trailer is very funny (in a good way) .
Can I put your variant of Niewiadow's repair on our site in Remonty section?
Please send me photos to fanklubniewiadowek06@gmail.com

[AlphaLori]

Thank you all!

This is my wife's idea of funny walls . We already prepared the drawing in MS Visio of beds and folding table, and also found suitable parts of kitchen. Now the only problem is Time (the Sun goes down early now so I can't make repair after work. Only weekends). We plan to begin screwing the skeleton of beds and wire boxes this weekend. I'll write about it

Відмінна робота!
Я радий, що ви взяли в серпні на оновлення цього великого трейлер:)
Я бачу, що у вас є сильна підтримка з боку коханої дружини - так тримати:)
сподіваємося на подальше етапи ремонту ....
Вітаю з Варшави

jedrek101, Bardzo dziękuję za opinie!

Nawiasem mówiąc, nasz przyjaciel pilot linii lotniczych przyniósł mi felgi stalove z Malucha z Warszawy.

Kontynuować pisanie w języku angielskim, ponieważ Google wydaje się być złe tłumaczenie z języka rosyjskiego lub ukraińskiego (czyli jest tracona w niektórych miejscach).

Last Saturday and Sunday we spent some time for mounting wire boxes:

Vertical boxes glued to carpeting usng the same rubber-based montage glue Tytan RB-22


Then we made a basement for beds/lockers (the idea has been properly stolen from Marek with some modifications, so we are very thankful for it! ):

The surfaces will represent something like that:

Good job
I look Polish door "drzwiczki ażurowe".
Very good niewiadow.
I to keep one`s fingers crossed.
My English is bad, sorry

[AlphaLori]

Thanks, gimof!
My English is bad too , so no problem!

Since days become shorter in autumn our work on Niewiadow became slower.

The skeleton of beds was finished:


"Drzwiczki ażurowe" were put on their places and enforced the whole construction:


We chose a 15 mm thick plywood for beds cover:


The great problem for wooden furniture is high humidity. So the entire beds were covered with antiseptic and yacht varnish:


To avoid the moisture collect within beds and allow the wood to breathe we made the cover from tarpaulin filled with padding polyester. My golden wife made a whole analysis of physical process of condensate so bed's polishing and covering is completely her merit:




Then mounted ready covers on piano hinges:


The lockers are large enough to live inside :


and soft enough...


That's how it looks when finished:



My wife decided to freshen bad-looking shelves with bamboo wallpapers, that we unmounted in the beginning:


Removed the old table holder since there will be another variant of table. Replaced with newer screws:


And finally... Not to forget about relax and Christmas :


....
This weekend a nice table will be ready. I'll show it later.

Hi - it is nice to see whot you made with Niewiadów

but I think you make too strong constriction for beds - front covers are enough strong to be like construction part, not only decorative

same remark is for plywood - I use 6 mm

good job , I wait for next part

Thank you, Chris

There was 8mm OSB on the floor when we bought our Nieviadow. It was too flexible so we decided to use as much as strong materials.
Another problem (and most important) is our post-Soviet roads . They quickly damage even SUVs suspension, and so tiny trailers like n126 require higher attention with such a high level of vibration.

Dobra robota i świetny efekt wizualny. Gratuluję

Mam tylko jedno pytanie: jak Wy będziecie spać?
Nie będzie Wam za twardo?

Dziękuję!
Nie. Połóż się dość komfortowo. Okazuje ortopedyczne efekt . Możemy wykorzystać śpiwór dla 2 osób (a raczej jego połowę).

It's time to write about folding table.
It is really our pride (especially for my wife, who made it looks like masterpiece):

There was a piece of plywood matching the area between lockers, and 2 bars for table legs.


The plywood didn't matched the class 2/3 declared by manufacturer, so all holes were smoothened with putty.


The bottom and bars covered by varnish.




We wanted to cover the top with white liquid plastic, but it seemed too ugly. As well as we refused to use varnish because it is not so strong against high temperatures - it wouldn't allow to put hot dishes on the table without remaining stains.

So we use that bamboo wallpapers, remained from old walls glued with Polyvinyl Acetate glue.




After grinding we got a smooth end, only spoiled by yarns



especially on corners...



... that were removed by nail clippers



...The gap was filled with transparent Polyvinyl Acetate glue...



We used standard table legs (70 cm height). Screwed them on bars so they wouldn't spoil each other when folding.



The bars were mounted on hinges. Though there was a problem - the whole construction was too slimpsy and legs folded after a little kick . That's why we bought two little door catches that helped to fix our legs tightly.


Here it looks from the bottom:


And in folded state:




To lay it properly between lockers we mounted a bar and magnets that block table's movement en-route:


The table placed freely:


My wife sewed a soft cover for central part of the "bed" with strings at far ends:


All seems comfortable:


View from the bottom:


And in "table mode":


Next mission is - kitchen unit.

[chris_666]

Next mission is - kitchen unit.

as usual - great job

bamboo cover looks very nice - I must look after something similar in our matkets

table is good job too - you can use it on campsite like outdoor table or inside caravan - good idea , and design and realization

I wait for next stages

Merry Christmas for You and Your family

Wesołych Świąt wszystkim!
