    Water ingress on a 2016 Swift Challenger 565

    So, this is the best picture I could get and I'd be the first to admit it's pretty poor! The area being looked at is a little off centre to the middle of the back wall. The lower red circle is over an area of a dry, white powdery mould. The upper left is a couple of small areas where the mould...

    Decisions!

    Was it a main dealer quoting £400? A quick google seems to think it should be about a third of that price

    Water ingress on a 2016 Swift Challenger 565

    Hi, I've noticed signs of damp on my 2016 Swift Challenger which is (I believe) of the bonded construction. I'm wondering if there's a weak point in the bonding which might be a starting point to look for the problem. My model has the end bathroom and it's the back wall that is damp, in...

    Glue that is not glue?

    Hi Buckman, it will depend on what the two things being stuck together are made of.

    Smoking hook up electrics

    A tow bar fitter will have a plug in tester to rule out the towing vehicle. They're usually very helpful. I agree with other contributors that if there's smoke there's likely to be damage and it may not be confined to just the location first identified. The wire/connectors that shorted will be...

    BMW 5 series touring - day to day running

    Hi I'm looking for opinions on the BMW Series 5 touring, any engine including the 2l petrol post 2016. Not just as a tow car but day to day running as well. Things like mpg, suitability, repair/service costs etc etc. Thank yo in anticipation

    Awning groundsheet poll

    Who uses a floor covering in their awning? What I would like to know is if you use anything to cover the ground in your awning is it permeable (maybe like the woven matting that is sold to fit) or is it impermeable like a plastic sheet? If you use the impermeable variety have you ever been...

    On board water tank

    Hi Thingy, I agree with most of the comments in this thread except for the removing of the on board tank! I agree there's little need for one if you don't venture out and about much after mid October or before mid March but if you do, as pointed out, there's a real risk of the out board feed...

    Hi CarlosGee, I have just bought one for mine. Haven't used it yet but pictures seem to show that it doesn't quite reach the caravan

    Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I'm using a roof lining and floor mat on my next outing and will be reporting back.

    Awning Condensation

    Hi Icaru5, no I wasn't using anything to cover the floor - but I will be next time! After many days searching (seems Kampa don't forecast sales too well) I tracked down a roof liner and I've also purchased one of Kampa's woven floor mats so hopefully I'll have a condensation free awning on my...

    Awning Condensation

    Well guys, thank you all for your contributions. After much much searching I eventually tracked down a liner, (seems Kampa have been caught out by a surge in demand!) and whilst I agree one shouldn't be necessary I have purchased one and will be trying it out on my next outing in a few weeks.

    Awning Condensation

    Hi Craigyoung and Otherclive, thank you for responding. I was thinking it was the use of the impermeable material that was the making matters worse. For the money they charge for these awnings I was surprised it wasn't a breathable fabric but if a roof liner is the answer that's the way I'll go...
