You will need to clean off the old mastic and bed the replacement on ‘W4 mastic sealing strip’ . I think the plastic gets brittle and if like mine gets somewhat discoloured so the rereplacement will look the part too!

Some of the sellers will advise how to measure as I was looking for the same but so many sellers online I couldnt relocate the actual one - but associated with measuring the van body at ground level for a Maypole roof cover.

Maybe the creator slipped up there?

Further to post #18 if you wish to remove the toilet entirely and refit after a thorough clean you should be able to identify fitting instructions for your loo find on Thetford website so you can identify how to remove.

You might find a dealer will offer new caravanners a starter pack either within the deal or at a reduced price, or will extend the warranty for you. If you do buy privately also make sure to see the van at the owners house and expect a full demo of all the appliances . Examine the service and...

As water appears to be soaking up from the bottom I would suspect the door panel to be the culprit and the place to start - dismantle, thoroughly clean off any old sealant and refit with sikafkex on the exterior surface taking care to wipe off any excess before it sets. Then worth trying...

Worth looking on the NGS website for gardens open to the public. For example we stayed at Ashridge C&MC site when it was Baldock open gardens - I think it was £5pp to visit several individual gardens that were open that weekend - as well as watching a few overs on the village ground and food at...

By your photos and description of spongy wall panelling that van has possibly been a leaker from leaving the factory and it may not be obvious where the ingress is occurring. A full damp report is important on any van you buy as around the windows would be a key area for multiple test sites...

July 25 edition - page 76 large photo - also visible on page 75 - any one else spotted the error? Is the EHU lead correctly inserted if the blue flap is left vertical as shown instead of horizontal within the fitting?

My Elddis front chest sits in place and is restrained by a strap to each side. As the bed slats roll in to the lower section I have needed to remove it to access beneath when these jammed. I have always assumed it was a perhaps generic construction that in some layouts the cabinet would be...

As far as I recall steady locks were an insurance policy requirement so always had them on the rear tubes.

You don’t tell us your potential tow car but if you visit a website like Witter or Towbars Uk you can enter the details and see what is available

I don’t have the system but out of interest goggled ‘Swift command firmware update’ and instructions were given down loading to a computer then saving to a USB stick. Maybe that would work for you?

Did the dealer offer much of a warranty although we have to accept that the van is 9 years old? Like others anything turned up by the habitation service should be put right and you should expect a very thorough demonstration at hand-over. There is a lozenge on the tyre wall - xx for week...
