Hi'
Some of the covering strips are starting to "curl" ie lift on the outside edges , just wondering what's best way to get them back flat, it's a coachman amara2009 so I'm guessing removal and replacement won't be an option.
TIA

I’ve never had this problem but one idea might be to cover the area with a piece of light cotton like a smooth teatowel and iron over it. Start on a low temperature and then if it doesn’t work, go a bit hotter. I wouldn’t iron directly on the wall as it might mark.

Again, I’ve no experience of this, it’s just an idea!

I have this problem and have tried ironing them down as suggested and found it to be a short term solution because they soon start to curl again.

We had this problem with our old Lunar, ended up replacing all the tape with plastic D-strip as found on some caravan ceiling joints and commonly used on the wall board joints in static caravans. It made a neat job and solved the problem of covering the sticky residue mess left behind by the old tape on removal.

Most caravan repair workshops stock it, as do the self build motor home converters. We bought ours from Don Amott caravans at Hilton in Derbyshire, who ordered it in for us after first viewing a sample.
