After coming back from our hols down in Torbay, I set up the FC in the back garden to air out and dry, but noticed that above the bed areas there was some mold on the roof canvas, so I took down the bed lining and started to clean it off with a damp cloth but as I was doing so some holes were poping through the mold patches, now it looks pretty bad.  Ive only had the FC which is a conway countryman 2001 for just over 3 months and been out in it 5 times and have always packed it away dry, but never noticing the mold above the bed lining.  Should I question it at the main dealer as I dont think they have done a P.D.I on it before I collected it, or they should have noticed, and if I have to go it alone how much would it cost to re-canvas the roof???

 

Very confused :-(

Oh dear this doesn't sound good. I would certainly go back to the place you bought it and see if they're willing to help. TVS do replacment canvas for all makes and models I think but someone more knowledgeable may correct me. No idea how much it would cost though. Hope you get it sorted, we've just part exchanged our Countryman, we loved it but needed more room for the growing kids!

Contacted TVS today they were really helpful, gona cost around £250 though, so Im gona go back to the main dealer and see if they could help first before taking in into TVS.

If you can't see the light at the end of the tunnel, just keep going till you go round the bend.
