Caravan Awning Rail Leaking

Now lift away the awning rail remember they bend very easily.

Caravan awning rail leaking.

Note half the rail didn t have any mastic on it at all also have look at the picture foreground ie where the rail had been on the caravan. This w4 mastic sealing strip is a 5m reel of 19mm wide mastic that has been formulated to use as re bedding and sealing various parts of your caravan or leisure vehicle including as a caravan external sealant on trims window surrounds vents roof lights roof vents awning rails and overlap joints. It s hard not to bend it at all when removing it but if your careful you can gently bend it back into shape. Hi it s leaking inside the awning the awning doesn t cover the joint but it also doesn t leak along the whole of the awning rail section or the length of the awning it s kind if in the middle.

Kampa pop air awnings suit an awning rail height of 184 198 cm with the exception of the pop 260 air pro which suits a height of 168cm. But with this in mind we had a vango in 2016 new but i could not get it into the awning rail on my own as it was very heavy being a 420 air was 35kg. I ve tried it with the monsoon poles and without and it makes no difference it s as if the awning rail is too wide for the beading. Surely the roof has a good slope to allow rain to run off.

Um not sure at the mo location. This is a quick video showing what i used to seal repair my caravan from damp.

But awnings like issabella magnums are 600. Nice and clean now. If its the awning rail it normally leaks into the caravan. Protects the awning when stored and during travel 2.

Here s a clip from google kampa. Is the awning rail on the van at the correct height for the kampa air awning. The cover serves 2 x purposes 1.
