Reminds me, my moggy van had hole in rear floor but I covered it with a mattress, will say no more !!!!!!
Dad had a Traveller and he convinced us that the back luggage space area was a proper seat and the blanket on the floor was luxury, still the family of six went all over the country on the annual holliday, I remember Mum slapping him when he got on the M1 and hit 60 miles an hour! I learnt to gas weld at 16 laying under it every MOT time joining patch to patch. Happy Days.
My dad wrote a guide on rewooding a Traveller.
Pity they did not use Cedar. Smells nice and does not rot.

I think there must be something special about ash, don't they make Morgan chassis from it?
Yes, there is something special about ash: it is light and strong with a lot of flex before it breaks and very uniform with little knotting. So, yes, there were good reasons to use ash. Kept in good nick (varnished as required) it last 40 years or so a go so not too bad.
