Roof Maintenance
Sealants
Roof sealants should be inspected every 6 months for condition. If the sealant has perished or adhesion
has failed, it should be repaired immediately.
Solar Panels
Accumulated dirt and soiling can affect the performance of the solar panels. Panels should be cleaned as
necessary to prevent this. Sealants around solar panel mounts should be checked annually to ensure they
are in good condition.
Caravan Body Maintenance
Locks and Latches
Locks need regular maintenance to ensure they operate correctly and stay free from corrosion. Diligent
use of WD40 or Inox will help in this regard. Both locks and latches need to be checked for adjustment to
ensure correct seal compression.
Rubber Seals
Rubber seals are critical in reducing or eliminating dust and water ingress. Damaged or worn seals should
be replaced immediately. Seals that are overly compressed will stay flattened and be less effective. (See
maintenance schedule)
Sealants
Regular checking of sealants will help avoid any likelihood of water ingress on your caravan. Off road use
can cause mechanical damage to seals from vegetation and stones striking the caravan body. 6 monthly
inspections should be undertaken, and any necessary repairs made.
