Hi theothrsam, Welcome to the forum, I had the Esterel 10ft, sillage,and loved it,had same problem with members club(a bit of discriminanation here),If van looked after they tend not to get damp or water in as much an conventional vans,due to the one piece roof, the roof vent seal must be leaking, happens if someone puts weight on roof when down,and distorts it, Runners clogged old grease,I scraped off as much as possibly then used WD40 to remove the grease I could'nt get at, then re greased, Gas struts,lightly take wire brush to them,or if you have one of those little dremel drill things, they have small cylinder type wheel use that,or fine wet n dry emery paper,when clean,I used Q rust from auto shop,( dont know if still avalible), There are a few car Tail gate struts that fit the Esterel,(not as good as originals but they do ok), Caravan breakers yard only place you may find any good spare parts, if you google caravan breakers you get a list of most of them( round about the Midlands) not many this side of Gretna.wish I lived near your location, I'd love to help on your project, hope this has been of some help.

If everything runs smoothly then I must have done something wrong
If in Doubt Check it Out.
