Leaving leaks unaddressed in motorhome & caravan & campervan can be more than just inconvenient—they can pose serious threats to your travel comfort and the vehicle itself. Ignoring even the smallest signs of leaks, such as moisture inside the vehicle or stains on walls, can lead to significant damage to both the vehicle’s structure and your health. Here’s why it’s crucial to act promptly on these issues:

1. Health hazards: Moisture accumulating inside the vehicle can lead to the growth of mold and mildew, which can trigger respiratory issues and allergies, especially in enclosed spaces like motorhomes.
2. Structural damage: Leaks can compromise the structural integrity of your motorhome, leading to rotting of wood, corrosion of metal components, and damage to electrical systems. Over time, this can result in costly repairs and even render the vehicle unsafe for travel.
3. Financial implications: Delaying repairs can escalate the cost of fixing the damage. What may initially seem like a minor leak can quickly worsen, requiring extensive repairs that strain your budget.
4. Preserving resale value: A motorhome with a history of leaks and water damage will significantly reduce its resale value. Addressing leaks promptly helps maintain the value of your investment and ensures a smoother resale process in the future.
5. Peace of mind: Knowing that your motorhome is free from leaks and potential water damage allows you to enjoy your travels without worrying about hidden issues that could disrupt your journey.

In conclusion, addressing leaks in motorhome or caravan promptly is essential for maintaining both the integrity of the vehicle and the well-being of its occupants. Don’t wait until a minor leak turns into a major problem—take action as soon as you notice any signs of moisture intrusion.

Persistent Overcab Window Leak Fixed Properly – Full Repair with Bodywork Refresh

A recent motorhome repair we carried out at our Worcester workshop involved a serious overcab window leak that had already been unsuccessfully “repaired” by three different service centres. The customers were understandably frustrated – despite multiple attempts, water was still making its way into the vehicle.

Upon inspection, we quickly discovered why none of the previous fixes had worked. Each time, someone had tried sealing the window without actually removing it, which was never going to be a lasting solution. In fact, by the time the motorhome reached us, the window had completely detached from its original position and was held in place only by sticky tape.

We fully removed the window and professionally prepared both the frame and mounting surface for reinstallation. Using specialist cleaning agents and high-quality bonding materials, we reinstalled the window securely and applied a durable, watertight seal to eliminate any future leaks.

As part of the job, some bodywork was required around the cab area due to previous water damage and poor repair attempts. We also took the opportunity to restore the overcab section, as the original finish had lost its gloss over time. Now, not only is the leak fully repaired, but the cab also looks as good as new – clean, polished, and weatherproof.

If you’re experiencing leaks, bodywork damage, or window issues in your motorhome or caravan, don’t hesitate to get in touch with Us. We specialise in professional motorhome repairs, damp repairs, bodywork restoration, and much more – all done properly, with long-term reliability in mind.

Time to re-seal your motorhome or caravan?? Skylight leaking?

Don’t Let a Roadside Incident Derail Your Plans – We’re Here to Help!

Skylight leaking in your motorhome? Window leaking in your caravan? This could lead to damp!!!! Do not wait and contact us immediately if you notice a leak.

The seals on your motorhome or caravan windows and skylights play a crucial role in keeping your vehicle cozy, weatherproof, and road-ready. However, with time, wear and tear caused by constant use, exposure to weather, and age can cause seals to deteriorate. This can lead to drafts, leaks, and reduced comfort inside your vehicle—especially during rainy or windy conditions.

Roof windows, such as skylights, are particularly vulnerable. Positioned on the top of your motorhome or caravan, they are exposed to harsh sunlight, heavy rains, and even debris from trees or roads. Over the years, these factors can compromise the integrity of the seals, leaving your vehicle susceptible to water damage and energy loss.

Neglecting to maintain and replace worn-out seals can lead to costly repairs down the line. Dampness caused by leaks can damage the interior, cause damp, and ruin your travel experience. That’s why regular maintenance and resealing are so important.

By re-sealing your windows and skylights in your motorhome & caravan, you’ll not only prevent leaks but also improve insulation, ensuring your motorhome stays warm in the winter and cool in the summer. A fresh seal ensures your adventures are stress-free and your vehicle is protected for years to come.

Don’t wait for leaks to become a problem! Protect your investment and enjoy your travels to the fullest. Contact us today to schedule a skylight resealing service and keep your motorhome or caravan in top condition!
