Is my van GRP or someother?

Van is a Coachman Pastiche built 2007. Six cracks along narrow strip of front just above center window need sealing.

I could use some advice of repair-work - method and material.

Some pictures would be useful. Depends on where the cracks are. My last van had aluminium roof and sides, abs rear panel and grp front panel. The owners club could advise on your specific caravan, although it’s not difficult to determine the materials by close examination. One forum member had cracks in his Fleetwood above the front windows. He repaired them with assistance from a specialist plastic technician. It was a big job that required stripping out all of the front end internals to access the defective panel area. Search threads posted by Gagakev.

Need to keep the picture not too large in size. I choose around 500 kb and they normally load okay. Tap the picture icon at the top of the post you are making. It then gives you a “ frame” which you can then load a picture into from your phone or pc. Only one at a time can be uploaded.
