ON WITH THE JOBįirst, assemble the equipment you’ll need (see list below) for the job so it’s all close to hand. Re-sealing a leaking window involves removing the window from the van, removing the old sealant – whether it’s silicone, foam tape or both – cleaning the window, re-sealing and re-inserting the window. Glynn Magain from the RV Repair Centre in Bayswater North, Vic, said there wasn’t much that caravan owners could do to prevent window leaks, as it really came down to how well the window was sealed in the factory. It’s a do-it-yourself job most people could manage with a few ordinary tools and a couple of spare hours. Window seals are a common culprit of leaks but, luckily, they’re quite easy to fix. Water ingress into caravans can be a huge issue as it has the potential to cause expensive damage to your pride and joy.
