Hi all,
I have a 2022 Baileys D4-4.
Last night when i had the spot lights on I noticed two bumps on the wall/ceiling above the front large window. They are in a similar placement either side of the window if you can make them out in the photo.
They may have always been there and I never noticed them as its only visible in a certain lighting.
They are solid to touch.. not damp or soft or anything.. so I'm hoping its not anything like that.
Does anyone have a Baileys? Or know how a caravan is built..Is it supposed to be like that? I cant see anything above the window on the outside but maybe it is the frame/structure of the inner caravan?
Ive never noticed them before but I only noticed the lights on my toilet last week too.. so its not unusual i didnt see them till now :ROFLMAO:

If its a plastic moulding they may be the 'sprue' marks. On injection mouldings , the molten plastic is injected in down one or more tapered holes in the mould. When the moulding is released from the mould the operative cuts off the excess plastic( which is known as a sprue) which has set in the hole(s) whilst the moulding is still hot and soft .This will leave a mark on the completed moulding , it always on the inside of the moulding so its not seen .Its possible the sprue wasn't cut off completely flat or the plastic was a little too soft the top surface can be deformed ( which it should have been rejected and sent for shredding ). It will interesting , now that you have pointed it out, whether other members start to notice the same marks on similar mouldings.

Thankyou for explaining it so well.. i hope thats what it is and i do hope others have noticed them as im worried in case it is a sign of damp or anything bad! @Beachball ..If you are in any Baileys soon please have a look for me :D Altho in daylight it isnt really noticable but i can feel the bumps.
