I thought this was an alternative thread to "securing the load". Please tell us why. We keep a couple of tents as well as our caravan but don't use them much, the caravan is loads better for us. We have just been away to Gloucester and tomorrow we are going to Chesterfield for a few days, away to Herefordshire at Easter then who knows? both retired and can afford it which helps. Couldn't do it with a tent.

The dreaded droop?

Mr UM

its 2007

it was fixed in sept(from wheel arch toother side of door where it was showing then)  but its back  coming from the wheel arch under the door readings of 60-70% then all the way round to the back of the van where it drops to a mere 40

where is yours ?

it is covered under the warranty but just feel that maybe vanning for us is not meant to me (esp after the barrier incident)

Ours is in for the 3rd time since August, they have yet to find where it is coming in. They have not told us of damp readings, scared to ask!!!! We discovered the problem by the bl**dy great puddles on the bathroom floor and under a rear seat (same side). When it rained heavily in scotland last year we could watch the puddle growing as we looked. Seeping out where wall meets floor. THis is the last chance for them i think. We are going to contact swifts if no luck this time. What worries me is what damage has been done that we can't see.
