Coachman - strange one

[Jim_374334401]

My Coachman developed a problem whilst parked on the drive. The clear (plastic I think) window on the one piece door appeared with a distinctive hairline crack straight across the middle. Certainly not as a result of any kind of impact and I can’t be sure precisely when it happened or the cause.

....a mystery.....

Any grass cutting or strimming been going on recently?

Someone else posted something similar with a front window not too long ago; I remember conjecturing whether rapid changes in temperature could have caused it. Don’t think there was any conclusion, so this drivel is really of no use to you. Hope you don’t have to replace the entire door ( but I bet you do 🙁 )

I have A 2013 Coachman and have heard about this happening to the the door,

As to Mel "Driibeling on" well you have to know and like her, which I do. Always welcome.

Did the window have a shiny blind behind it with it in full sun? This has been known to overheat and damage windows before although I have never heard of the door being the one to go. There is a warning on our caravan about this for the sunlight window over the front but it can happen to any one.

Not had the problem, but always put windows exposed to direct sunlight (particularly in Spain etc) on the 'night vent' position to ensure some cooling air behind them when blinds are down. Even better, open the windows and inch or so if you can without compromising security.
