Hi Guys,
Myself and my partner just bought a camper van, our first. We hit the road right away and after our second night, woke up this morning to drips coming down from one of the cupboards.
Initial reaction: We've been screwed, the world is coming to an end, a few grand down the drain, etc etc etc
I was on cloud nine yesterday evening, had herself and our one year old son in the van, beautiful scenery and had a great day out before we parked up for the night. Was heartbroken this morning when she spotted the leak.
Anyways, after 6 and half nervous breakdowns today, i've finally calmed myself a bit and decided to get advice .
I've literally never repaired a campervan or car etc before, more or less. I would appreciate any advice on where to get started and what products, tools etc i will need to tackle this .
It's a lovely little camper, fresh CVRT, runs lovely, plenty of recent repairs , timing belt etc.
It's just this bloody leak!!
I've seen a few other similar posts about leaks here and what i can gather is basically that i need re seal all the roof fittings , re seal the joints etc and maybe use a rubberised paint for the entire roof?
Any advice or word of hope would be greatly appreciated. I was hoping to get at least another 5 years out of her, 70,000 on the clock more or less. I've only had her 4 days at this point!
Thanks,
Dominic
