Would not advise a motor home for carrying kayaks on the roof, my reason is that although most motor home roofs are built to withstand walking on, this only means occasional, not every time the van is used. I had a customer who had kayaks and was up on his roof every day either checking the...

If its bubbling then there is not much you can do except a repaint

Just remember that what ever you use to remove the sticky stuff, wax it afterwards

I come across many owners who are selling their motorhomes and caravans and I am always surprised how many upgrade to a newer model of what they already own. Some have changed their minds after I have finished rejuvinating their van, others have received the best price for their trade in as its...

Oxidation should not make your panels bubble, you may have a more serious problem

Try using Silky(available from most dealers and Go outdoors), it may work and at about six quid a tub is probably cheaper than new skirts.

Will agree with gjh that getting rid of black streaks can be hard work if they have been there a while and also agree with his point about keeping the van clean especially the roof. What I think is poor advise is the using of any waterless system DO NOT USE A WATERLESS WASH SYSTEM ON YOUR...

Forgot to mention that Diamond Dave (Dave Newell leisure) sells and fits sat. domes so if your not a DIYer I'm sure he would be more than happy to accomodate you.

Make sure that it has a six speed gearbox to go with the cruise control

My Tomtom XL has a passion for motorways and dual carriageways and will send me miles out of the way to use them

Hi Brum, when I fitted my Sat dome I just glued the feet on using a silicone mastic (Sikaflex). This was the method recommended by the dome manufacturer (Camos), When you want to move the dish onto your next van you unbolt the feet which are under the dome cover and leave them glued to the van...
