When caravans are built for testing they are different to the ones customers actully buy
Not good. But the "independent tester" is paid by the manufacturer Quote:

Sorry for the late reply, been busy with other stuff recently. It's a 2008 Series 7, which I ironically just mad the last payment on! It's both awning rails and the two roof straps/top rails. The quality of the mastic/sealing carried out by the manufacturer is terrible, and the guy from the repair place thought that I had tried to the job myself. A picture of the roof rail and workmanship is below... Are you able to recommend the type of sealant/adhesive that I should use for the roof rails and awning rails, which I assume are reusable? Regards Alan |

Due to the sticky grab of the none setting gunk that they use the rails deform when trying to get them off, but me being the skinflint that I am I dressed mine back on and have no interest whatsoever of an awning, bish bash and stainless screws screws all round, not bothered about looks just water tightness, Rick

Please don't disrupt your holiday again, but when you have a moment could you confirm if the supplier in the link sells the mshg and tape seal, the grey rubber edging as well? Regards Alan |
