Hi I have resealed both on my own caravan and others, I used sikaflex 512 or the newer version of 522 it is a reasonably easy job but quite labour intensive as you need to remove ALL the old sealant and clean all surfaces with white spirit and then methalated spirit before applying new sealant...

Hi This is quite common on caravan and motorhome ovens due to air not circulating through the oven due to the vent to the outside not being warm, to overcome this light the oven, open the oven door and leave open for a few minutes, this encourages heat into the vent, after a few minutes close...

If the caravan was an easy repair I would think the dealer would do it and sell for retail price, they may know of other underlying issues with the caravan, they will probably put on the receipt SOLD AS SPARES OR REPAIR in which case I would think even the 3 month guarantee would be worthless...

Hi newcampers welcome to the forum, I am not 100% certain but I think the ultima was a dealer special that had a couple of little extras on. I am sure someone on the forum will know for definite. Gra
