White Grab Pull Handles Front Or Rear Pair Caravan 137mm Centres Motorhome

Product Information

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. However, this to me is the very last job of the current damp issue, as it makes sense but somebody told me if the current damp problems don't get any air, it can just propel it further in to the van and to close the gaps on the underside of outer skin, would just compound the problem? Keep the receipt of works as evidence should you need to make a damp claim under warranty in the future. Do I not need to re-seat the window rubbers on non setting bedding mastic that comes on a roll? You don't have to seal the windows this way ( the choice is yours ), you can use tube mastic ( sealant ) .

Yes, you can continue to return items as normal as long as you follow the government guidelines about leaving your house. 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 it Also, is there anything I should/could be brushing on to either side of the new ply, to give it some added protection? If it's been repaired well you shouldn't need anything , and if water does happen to enter the caravan i'd rather know about it ,than have it trapped , where it can do lots of unseen damage ( rotting ) .Any help, direction or more in depth help and advice before I start the job in hand would be so massively appreciated trust me. Awning rails , clean around the awning rail to body joint ( gap ) , add a bead of sealant to gap( this isto protect from water ingress over the very short term , and you should maybe consider aawning rail reseal in the future ). You should be able to get 3.6mm board ( plywood not hardboard or mdf )from B and Q ( but it will not have a covering on it ) . I hear you only plywood for re-boarding, however does it need to be marine plywood, or just ordinary ply?

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.

Quote: Lift and clean around the window rubbers outside ( use white spirit then meths to clean ) , apply a bead of sealant under the window rubbers. We require this information to understand your needs and provide you with a better service, and in particular for the following reasons:

At least four holes are going to be drilled into the bodywork, and you don’t want to get that wrong. The other issue I've found is underneath the front, where the aluminium external skin bends under and then meets the underside ply flooring etc, it's come away seemingly no screws holding it any more and needs a better fix than the previous persons obviously attempted but failed. This is my last job on the current list, as I believe at present until all the above is fixed and cured, the damp needs some air and somewhere to go... to close this off now would just compound matters even more? My last caravan was with Bailey for repairs for damp and the dealer gave us a part exchange price against a Pegasus with the caravan still in Bailey's workshop for repair, we never actually saw the caravan again. They gave a good part ex value against our original Pegasus. If your dealer is using past repairs to de-value your caravan when part exchanged, try another dealer. Now I understand what your trying to do and we do have rights under the SOGA but with the current age of your caravan your walking a tightrope.Before fixing in place, give your handles a good clean with T-Cut, to remove discolouration from age and use. Use a fan heater to help the battens dry out ( if possible ) do not reboard the inside until the battens are dry and the caravan is water tight . If you want to get out of the caravan (which I can understand) it may just be worth asking your dealer for his best deal on another make, given the disappointment with your current van, To keep quoting the SOGA to try to achieve a replacement, even with a reduced value of your current van isn't going to work. Speak to Trading Standards and then you have to put up to take into court. The SOGA needs to be determined by a court that it has been breached, you cant just print a copy of it and throw it on your dealers desk. Outside body repair .I would try this , buy some alloy strip or angle from B and Q , see Here and Here . I also understand your worries of your ply floor not being replaced with the risk of health with spores and the ply slowly degrading, I think there will be quite a few of us with the same concerns. If this does happen I know exactly what I will do when and if the time comes. Believe me I’m not happy at all with this water ingress problem.

I eventually realised that a car ceiling grab handle would be ideal – compact, comfortable, folding, neutral grey in colour and blending in well with the rest of the caravan décor. Most thieves make a risk-to-reward assessment on their potential targets. You want to make your vehicle appear high risk. In the sense, it will take more time to steal/enter the vehicle. I wouldn't recommend using normal silicone sealant for sealinganywhere on the outside of the caravan . http://www.1carpc.co.uk/wcdr/sealants.htm We feel that initially, these are ideal products to have in almost any caravan, especially when it comes to offering a more comfortable way to enter and exit your van. They are also the easier of items when purchasing caravan grab handles spares for.

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? Our collections by our couriers are happening as usual. As it stands, delivery times are not being affected too much. Please be aware though that Royal Mail and other couriers are sometimes prioritising essential items so please bear with us if your delivery takes slightly longer than expected. Select a washer to spread the load over the interior of the fixing recess and, if necessary, drill out this washer to the hole size required and file down the sides to get a good fit in the recess. You will probably use the largest size wood screw for refixing, as you need hidden access to the rear of the panel for putting nuts on bolts. If your only doing a temporary repair ( around the window rubbers ) you should use non setting tubemastic ( non setting mastic can be a little messy to use ) .
