Van goes into the workshop 1st week in September.

More water came in skylight on Sunday night when we were at Forfar. Whilst drying the skylight I noticed that a metal screw which potrudes down and acts as one of the stops for the flyscreem was missing !.It was there a few months ago.It looks like it has either allowed a gap to open up in the chasis of the skylight or allowed water to come through the hole or a combination of both !.

The screw would have had to have unscrewed upwards !.

The only thing that I could think of was vibration caused by unbalanced wheels on long journays. That could also explain why gaps have opened up in the internal furnishings, screws dropping out and cupboard doors opening.

I stopped at a tyre fitter on the way home and got both wheels balanced.

A word of warning to anybody that has to replace a wheel on a caravan the fitter had to deflate them to get them off and on. Just what you need when replacing a flat !. I carry a 12v tyre pump but will have to get an extension lead to run from the car to inflate the tyre when put on the van..

Caravan has been in the dealers for the last 2 weeks. It's a small family firm and they couldn't start working on it until last friday. They have found something and have been in contact with Dunster House who have authorised the warranty claim. However work wouldn't start until they send out written confirmation.

My wife spoke to the dealers office staff last monday and was told something that could make all other problems I have endured insignificant !. I can't comment any more until I get confirmation of this and have contacted Dunster House for their reaction !.

More to follow (Maybe) !,

This is where the duff duffs from Eastenders comes in I think!

Yeah,

It is has bad as I thought and Dunster House have threatened me with a libel action if I post it on any forum !.This would also be the reason for them battening down the hatches I would think !.
The threat would be a normal tactic for them and I've had a legal source have a look at their letter and she burst out laughing !.

This was over a week ago and I sent a couple of e mails in reply but have had no response yet !
