We're pitched near Lincoln and caught in a rainstorm with a capital R. Just looked at the weather radar and there is a red blob drifting towards us. Its absolutely HAMMERING the FC roof and the radio forecast has just threatened a months rainfall in the next 24 hours.

I don't usually worry about leakage but I must admit to being a bit anxious about this. Wish us luck!

I'm sure You will be fine, we were at skegness last week when we had the biggest storm ever, thunder, lightning,hailstones the size of marbles, but the folding camper never leaked, there were some dents in the canvas roof but these went once the canvas had dried.

The rain, it raineth every day
Upon the just *and* unjust fella -
But mainly on the just, because
The unjust stole the just's umbrella'

My daughter was at Butlins Skegness last week and they had some flooding on the site.

That's reassuring Josey. I suppose I'm being paranoid. I keep shining a torch on the underside of the roof panels and seeing little water globules of on the inside reflecting the light back. None of them have dripped - yet!

One thing for sure though - the proofing is very evenly applied. No one area looks 'wetter' than another. So, as my daughter has just said - if it does 'go' it will go everwhere at once.
