Just wondered if any of you guys knew of anything to stop the aluminium bottom exterior rail of the windows "excreting" balck stuff all over the side of my motorhome. Obviously only a problem when it rains but it leaves one hellavuh mess on the side of my van.

Is there anything that can be treated onto the ally to stop this??

Hi Boggy welcome.

Try doing a search on the caravans forum as I'm sure this has been mentioned in the past on there - put "black streaks"

'fraid I can't remember what the solution was.

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