Re: Caravan roof join

Hello @margiemh 

 

When you say crackly, do you mean that that area has become brittle and is easy to break? My first suggestion is to contact the caravan manufacturer to find out if there is a replacement part for the deteriorating piece. Would it be possible for you to post a closer photo of the damaged area. It might be possible to use another material such as aluminium, but we'll need to see if there is any spot in that area to anchor onto. 

 

Let me call on our experienced members @twocutekelpies and @FloTheCaravan for their recommendations.

 

If you need further assistance, please let me know.

 

Eric
