Product Information

Is there ever a time when it is ok to use traditional external grade trade silicone sealant for generic re-sealing around joins, joints and so on of a touring caravan on it's exterior?

Quote: Awning rails , clean around the awning rail to body joint ( gap ) , add a bead of sealant to gap ( this is to protect from water ingress over the very short term , and you should maybe consider a awning rail reseal in the future ). Thanks once again for reading my problem and I hope you can decipher the above, it's hard to put it down in the correct manner on a screen when so in depth. Hindsight is the most wonderful tool we have... only coming to fruition normally after a major situation. Notes , press the alloy firmly into place before pilot drilling , add a good bit of mastic when finally fitting . To gain clearance for pilot drilling ,wind upthe rear caravan legs and extend downthe front ones . You have many more rights under SOGA (sale of goods act) in addition to warranty and without comprimiseing warranty. SOGA claim should also not be warranty history which will devalue your caravan when you come to trade itThis advice is to hopefully repair the caravan well enough to get you away , and you may need to redo some things to a better quality when you get more time . Customers of this grab bar find this a great practical addition, especially considering its extremely low price. It’s also claimed to hold in place very well offering a good grip throughout. Final Thoughts on Caravan Grab Handles It seems the offside (Drivers side) window hasn't been sealed / seals seated correctly and a haphazard sealant job that's so uneven, lumpy and shoddy it's untrue. Bit late now but I think I would have waited until there were a few hot summer days to dry it out a bit, filled any gaps in the outside with Sikaflex & got another 3yrs out of it. If you start dismantling an old caravan from the inside you just open cans of worms. Having said that, there's no guarantee that the UK weather will hold out on the days I need it to weather wise to finally start the repair job and hence why I've started it now.

However, as stated above, be cautious about drilling into the bodywork. Not only for invalidating your water ingress warranty but also for making a mistake and drilling holes in the wrong places. I look forward to hearing from any of you that can help guide me in the right direction to solving the above current headaches, it will be very much appreciated indeed. Whilst there is really shoddy sealant on the outside edges of the window rubbers, there is most definitely nothing at all below... I presume there should be? I'd read about white spirit and methylated spirit to clean off old sealant and give it a clean surface to take new stuff. However, you mention applying a bead of sealant under the window rubbers, but we think this is where the main problems began. As the current sealant under the rubbers has squeezed out of it past the rubbers in a bumpy fashion if that makes sense. Do I not need to re-seat the window rubbers on non setting bedding mastic that comes on a roll?Notes , press the alloy firmly into place before pilot drilling , add a good bit of mastic when finally fitting .
