Leaky Hymer Skylight - any suggestions ?

[Andrew_5098956]

Just gone to load up my Hymer 466 Swing to go away for the weekend, but noticed that the small skylight over the roof has obviously leaked, as the matress on the fixed bed underneath is soaked through, has this happened to anyone else? is there supposed to be a seal on this skylight? the larger skylight has a seal but doesn't on the smaller one.

Part of the EN1645 standards, applicable to touring caravans, includes mandatory requirements for "fixed ventilation", at both low and high levels. Small skylights are usually designed to meet this high level regulation but heavy winds can blow rain in through these "fixed ventilators".

If you wash the caravan and aren't aware of this ventilation you could cause the leak yourself!
