Caravan Awning Rail Leaking

But awnings like issabella magnums are 600.

Caravan awning rail leaking.

This is a quick video showing what i used to seal repair my caravan from damp. 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. Nice and clean now. Is the awning rail on the van at the correct height for the kampa air awning.

It s hard not to bend it at all when removing it but if your careful you can gently bend it back into shape. Surely the roof has a good slope to allow rain to run off. 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. Cover is approx 200mm in depth and runs full length of the awning.

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. If its the awning rail it normally leaks into the caravan. It covers the stitching when the awning is out and prevents water sitting on the stitch line therefore stopping the chance of the leak. Here s a clip from google kampa.

Um not sure at the mo location. Message posted by catieb 09 8 2013 at 3 18pm outfit. 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. 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.

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. If from recolection the kampa is made of 150 300 denier. Now lift away the awning rail remember they bend very easily.
