Have read the advice given to a different type of greater age, but want to ask anyway. I know I am on borrowed time with my van as I seem to have a small damp spot that seems to be recurring in the carpet nr threshold to bathroom, i.e. almost in the middle of the van; my thinking is damp must be creeping in from a leak in a wall, because I am not using either sink so it cannot be from there.But for the moment I can live with that as it seems to dry off quickly in between.
In Feb when I reallocated from my usual site during flood, the big front window curbside was exposed to rain battering against it and I found here or somewhere the tip to smear the edge of the rubber with vaseline - I have done that and it did the trick! Despite the rubber even being rather porous in a couple of spots. - I am therefore now wondering whether it might be worth my time and the rest of the tub of vasline to try and smear the outside of the van at a spot below the window offs as rain is coming in there. So far I have added first aid insulation by putting cardboard between wall and cushion, replacing cardboard after big rainfall. Having applied anti-mould spray, I am not getting any mould I am pleased to say, so, again, aware that I am on borrowed time - vaseline or any other tips? Am having trouble getting any mobile engineer to come to my site, I am afraid, so I hope someone can advise here.. Many thanks.
