Hi all,

I am hoping you may come to my rescue.....

I have a 1996 Elddis Wisp 350 with damp on the O/S caused by the awning rail leaking.

It is a project I am keen to tackle, however I wonder if anyone has removed the 2 upper cupboards on the O/S. Looking physically I am struggling to find the fixing points of the cupboards, and searching the forums/Wizards website hasn’t given me any clear ideas.

I will need to remove them to give access to replace the battens and wallboard.

Any help greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Ben

I think the cupboards are actually fixed from the outside before the outer aluminium skin is put on. Not sure how you would remove them, but I'm sure someone will know.

Hi Colin,

Thanks for your reply. I am also thinking they are fixed from the outside.

I think my only option is to try and create a small opening and either gently pry the fixings away without damaging the skin, or if the gap is big enough, attempt to cut the screws.

If there are any other suggestions, please let me know.

Thanks

Ben

if they are fixed from outside, then a multi tool might work, use a cutting blade and try to get up behind the cupboard frame fixings.

just check that you cant see any screws from the outside just in case its a simple removal ..
