Never rains but pours😢.

The Truma Ultraheat packed up on 230 v ,,
The ATC indicator light failed.

Both fixed, more later

The most pressing repair was the fracturing and disintegration of the bathroom skylight assembly.
The old girl is 16 now but still ticks all the boxes. But her plastics are beginning to disintegrate. Years of rain snow and sun.

Prima Leisure, Bailey’s spares division told me the skylight is a redundant part. Try a breakers yard!

It’s a MPK 280 x 280 .Plenty of full assemblies available of Ebay. Sikaflex 522 was expensive £16.50

Removing the old sealant was the usual hardship. However WD40 followed by a degreaser worked wonders.
Here’s some photos. Note the degradation of the original plastic frame.
