you could take the window seal out and then try putting a wallpaper scaper between the ply and original wall board to split them apart and then have a read of the fix club on here on how to do the repairs and were to buy new wall board

Hi,

And thanks to the following for their quick answers, Bill60, AndyDW, Acornis.

I think maybe that I am going to take it off in small pieces as you all sugest. So in the next few days I will try and get the time to have a go at this. Will also try to get some photo's of it before I start to show what it looks like.

Round the window it is in small pieces and filled with filler, like what you would use on your walls indoors. I think its done like this to get the shape of the window easyly.

Any more good ideas will also still be welcome.

And many thanks to you All.

Hi All,

This is the photo of the window area, it looks alright but it is 4mm proud of the window Rubber Seal. The next photo is of the complete side part upto the top cuboards where there is damp inside them

The White is polyfiller, will need to remove top cuboards and bed unit

Thanks Jayc001,

This is the other photo of my van, as you can see on the left of the photo is where the damp is coming through this ply, it just covered it up for a while so I need to get this off and start again, the problem as I have said and have had good avice how to remove because it is still solid.

Thanks to the above member for getting this up for me a little advice how he done this would be good as well, because I have a few more soon to put up.

Hi All,

It has been a bit of time since I was last here, have been busy plus trying to get on with the repairs to my Sprite, have not got that far really.

Have removed all the ply put on by the other owner, and removed quite a bit of the damp original  wall boarding. I have not heard of any one else that seems to have this problem that I am having at the moment. Under the original boarding I have metal bands running from floor to ceiling also I think round the window, my problem is where the boarding was damp it cam away from these bands easy, but where the board is dry you just can not seem to lift it off with a scraper or chisle.

Was hoping to find the Wizards e-mail to see if he had this problem when repairing his Sprite, but just can not seem to get any of the search bars to find him.

So boys do you have any good ideas as to how this could be removed from these metal bands they are 3 to 4 inches wide and about 3 feet apart and made of ally I think.

HELP!!!!
