That is rather a strange question. Especially as that product MAY be water based? I have never heard of any previous forum member asking a similar question. I think that if I were about to do this job you are undertaking, (and to possibly a couple of years later having to do this part of it all again) I would find out the best way to go about it. I hope someone can help you more than I can...but Fencelife is probably NOT the correct way.

If you used new timber then it should already have been treated with preservative. I'ts not really that necessary to treat it further as the idea is that the repaired motorhome does not leak so provided wood does not get damp it will not rot. Any preservative will do the job including fence treatment but a good brand as mentioned would be better.

None of it is rocket science though. If it looks like it will work it probably will. More important is that you stick it together properly. I hope you are using polyurethane sealant/adhesive such as Sikaflex512 or PU18.

As opensauce already said treated timber is the way to go, it's actually
pressure treated so it should last, however if you cut it then I'd use a good
preserver like Sadolin & that'll probably last longer than the Bedford.

I wouldn't consider that a product for treating wooden fences is the right product you need for protecting furniture and cabinets etc. inside a motorhome as fencing treatment would for exterior use only. You need a product designed for interior purposes such as varnish or better still a plastic coating designed for interior furnishings that requires no future maintenance.

I'd be careful about anything that gives off fumes, so read the label carefully. Teak oil might be an option, but you've not said what wood you used - hardwood or softwood? Oak framed houses don't need preservative indoors, for example.

-------------
2024 = 20 sites / 41 nights. 2023 = 9/23. 2022 = 13/35. 2021 = 11/29. 2020 = 4/20. 2019 = 13/35. 2018 = 20/33. 2017 = 10/22. 2016 = 19/33. 2015 = 15 sites / 27 nights. Didn't count 1976 to 2014.

I beg to differ

They are always treated against all sorts of infestations, dryrot etc.
& Sadolin is one of the best preservatives on the market, if it's good enough for exterior use then it's certainly good enough for interior use, not so for
visa versa, but care should be taken if using a solvent based item in confined
space.
