2007 Chasson Flash 09

Hi All,

Here is our little house on wheels. She is a Ford Transit 2.4 with a Chausson Flash 09 "house"

We had a boat for about 3 years, but never really enjoyed it, so we bought this camper last August, done a few jobs to her, all lights have been upgraded to LED, and wheels have been re sprayed.

Also fitted a new reverse cam to her with a nice big colour screen.

Red lights in the cabin - very comfortable when driving at night. Just ordered a few more side marker lights, they will be fitted during the week.

Next big project will be a reupholstery of the seats plus new curtains, we will probably go for a Grey and Blue theme in fabric, and blue and grey leather for the driver and passenger seat.

Lovely van, wear well.

Super van, health to enjoy.

Yea I can see the problem. You have a overhang at the rear which would be 18 to 20 inches longer than ours. I fitted a towbar on our MH last year and it was a pain in the ass to fabricate around the waste tank and its outlet but I got it done. The top of the towbar finished up being 20.5 inches high which is about an inch higher than the traffic regulations.
Afterwards we were touring Donegal and took the Rathmullen to Buncrana ferry with only a half inch of clearance between the towbar and the ferry ramp so our outlet was safe. Boy was I glad that the towbar finished on the high side.

One other issue for you to check. The silicone seam between the outside walls and the grey side skirts and rear bumper has to be replaced after a period of time. We purchased a silimar aged MH in 2015 from a dealer who had completed the job as it was supposedly recommended by chasson. I am not sure what the time limit is.The reason for doing it is to stop water from seeping in between the base of the wall and floor joint.
Maybe I was fed a pack of crap by the dealer.

We have a 2007 Chausson and had to get a job done on the back wall where the timber in the wall has started rotting. Our mecanic stripped it and replaced the timber and put an aluminimum strip on it to protect it in future. Its understandable considering the rain that splashes up from the rear wheels against the floor.

Ill try and get some pictures but its now covered with an aluminium strip. If you look under the body where the wall meets the floor you will see that the joint should be covered with a sealant. However in our case the sealant had worn away and you could see the timber between the fibre glass sheets oof the side wall where it meets the back wall. As the wood was exposed the water started to rot it. It was very visible once I climbed under the back of the van.
