White Grab Pull Handles Front Or Rear Pair Caravan 137mm Centres Motorhome

Product Information

This advice is to hopefully repair the caravan well enough to get you away , and you may need to redo some things to a better quality when you get more time . Keep the receipt of works as evidence should you need to make a damp claim under warranty in the future. Having said that, there's no guarantee that the UK weather will hold out on the days I need it to weather wise to finally start the repair job and hence why I've started it now.

Quote: Lift and clean around the window rubbers outside ( use white spirit then meths to clean ) , apply a bead of sealant under the window rubbers. Any help, direction or more in depth help and advice before I start the job in hand would be so massively appreciated trust me.However, if you, as a DIY project you drill into that bodywork while the vehicle is still under warranty, you may have invalidated a potential future damp claim. Also, is there anything I should/could be brushing on to either side of the new ply, to give it some added protection? If it's been repaired well you shouldn't need anything , and if water does happen to enter the caravan i'd rather know about it ,than have it trapped , where it can do lots of unseen damage ( rotting ) .

At this point, vigorously test the strength of the modified handle by bolting it to a large plywood offcut and giving it a good tug, before committing yourself to drilling a fixing hole in the caravan’s woodwork. I had thought myself yesterday the only way maybe to sort the underside of front end - where the aluminium outer skin is fixed to the underneath (where as you see in the pics it isn't any more) would be to use aluminium angle corner the whole length in one piece along the front underside. Then drill new holes in to this, then fix this with nuts and bolts as opposed to screws. My last caravan was with Bailey for repairs for damp and the dealer gave us a part exchange price against a Pegasus with the caravan still in Bailey's workshop for repair, we never actually saw the caravan again. They gave a good part ex value against our original Pegasus. If your dealer is using past repairs to de-value your caravan when part exchanged, try another dealer. Now I understand what your trying to do and we do have rights under the SOGA but with the current age of your caravan your walking a tightrope.

What People Say...

I do know that some motorhome owners want their cab to be more secure when they are actually inside and using the motorhome, especially while they are asleep. You may choose to restrict the collection or use of your personal information in the following ways: Whilst there is really shoddy sealant on the outside edges of the window rubbers, there is most definitely nothing at all below... I presume there should be?

There are awning rails going along both sides of the caravan , that you can seal ( a proper reseal of the awning rails would require removing them , but this can be a lengthy job . You do, however, have to drill holes and fit self-tapping screws into the aluminium door frame. Below is a video from Martin, who goes by ‘The Caravan Nut’ on YouTube. Unfortunately the previous sealant job by previous owner(s) leaves a lot to be desired and once I redo it, it will make the cvan externally much much cleaner and of course I will know 100% it isn't going to leak whilst on any hols etc. You should be able to get 3.6mm board ( plywood not hardboard or mdf )from B and Q ( but it will not have a covering on it ) . When you mention awning rail to body joint/gap, do you mean where the awning rail meets / fits on to the outer skin of the caravan both on the roof and the side outer wall of the caravan? Yes .

International Customer

Our collections by our couriers are happening as usual. As it stands, delivery times are not being affected too much. Please be aware though that Royal Mail and other couriers are sometimes prioritising essential items so please bear with us if your delivery takes slightly longer than expected. However, this to me is the very last job of the current damp issue, as it makes sense but somebody told me if the current damp problems don't get any air, it can just propel it further in to the van and to close the gaps on the underside of outer skin, would just compound the problem? Hindsight is the most wonderful tool we have... only coming to fruition normally after a major situation. I am also led to believe that the longest lasting would be "Silicone" of up to 20 years if applied correctly following all guidelines etc, is this correct and the right choice ultimately for my resealing job?

Thanks once again for reading my problem and I hope you can decipher the above, it's hard to put it down in the correct manner on a screen when so in depth. So I've stripped off (most) of the offending interior ply panelling to the front of the cvan, to reveal a good portion of the extent of the damp problems in both front of cvan corners. I hear you only plywood for re-boarding, however does it need to be marine plywood, or just ordinary ply? Just want to make the best job possible but there seems to be two ways above, unsure which one to do right now but without risking leaks again with putting new interior plywood boarding on before we go away. I wouldn't recommend using normal silicone sealant for sealinganywhere on the outside of the caravan . http://www.1carpc.co.uk/wcdr/sealants.htm

Folding Support Rail

You would need to remove and clean the rubbers ( but it can be a long job ) , my idea was to get you by for now .
