A CLUSTER of savvy homeowners transformed their caravans into a luxury holiday home using Facebook Marketplace and Temu bargains – with some as cheap as £1.67.
The homemakers didn’t need deep pockets to give their gaffs a serious face lift.

Couple Holly and James completed their refurbishment in three weeks – using stick-on tiles, soft furnishings and chair covers bought online, CornwallLive reported.
They also installed a new diesel heater and updated the kitchen using rattan cane webbing.
The duo nabbed the accessories, kitchen self-adhesive tiles and chair covers from Temu.
The couple said: “We bought [the caravan] for £2,250 from a lovely family via Facebook Marketplace. They were sad to see it go but were upgrading to a newer model.
“They had looked after it so well and pretty much everything still worked so we were over the moon when we saw it!
“We bought a new enamel caravan sink online as our original one was plastic, and then we had the new sink powder-coated white. And we sprayed the original caravan taps gold using Rustoleum metal spray and primer.
“Changing the flooring was the biggest job of all,” they revealed. “Our original carpet was stuck underneath all of the units and furniture.”
Meanwhile, another serial Temu user, Jade, needed less than a month to carve out her dream home.
She started by removing and giving a fresh coat of paint to the kitchen cupboards.
Jade opted for sage green which neatly blended with the white walls.
She then added in patterned tiles and vinyl wraps, turning a humble caravan into an eye-catching home.
Meanwhile, Ebony Poole spotted a retro caravan on Facebook Marketplace and was determined to turn it into her own elegant space.
She renovated the dusty motorhome without breaking the bank.
“I wanted a home away from home,” she said.
Ebony slapped navy and cream paint across the interior, reupholstered seats and renovated the kitchen area.
Before long, Ebony had transformed the once derelict caravan – giving it a pop of colour and personality.
She added: “Come on our caravan renovation journey with us.”
“I bought wallpaper from Temu [and] all the cupboard handles were from Temu.”
