I advise you check for damp before you make a purchase. look at the joining strip on the top roof,a lot of baileys had a split roof were the screws went in.

Hi

Alot had no cover strip over the joint and you can see the screws, but i think you can get the cover strip that fits between the alli plate over the screws.

Hi

This may help just had my senator serviced and front rhs where the roof cross rail meets the awning rail, i had a reading of 30 on the damp meter, so i have got damp in mine bloody great!!!

On the bright side all other readings around the van are 10 phew, except working back from the 30 reading to around 15 above the sink.

The cause is a common one on the senator, and its not the top rail its the awning rail that lets it in, this time on off side of van, cost to repair is £160 as we caught it early.

Thats the bonus of having your van serviced each year i suppose. Catch it before it gets hold to much.

Booked into workshop end of Jan, so hopefully it wil dry out completely by end of next season.

Hi Trans

i can only say that the senator Indiana that i have is , as been a great van, i know people with the carolina and they love it, great family van, The equipment in the van is exactly the same as ours so on that point its been reliable and and gave good service.
