    What a dream team. Debbs with the camera and Mark doing the tough stuff. Great to see you back on our screens ❤ Clare was disappointed though - she wanted you to hose it down to make sure Mark had done a successful job 😂 miss you both ❤ xxx

      The A team 🤣🤣🤣 😝 I know we didn’t think of actually filming it worked 🫣 but we did high pressure hose the van and we can confirm to Clare not a drip 💧 or a drop whoop whoop !! Thanks for watching, miss you guys too 🥰☹️ thanks for watching 😘 xxx

    We really enjoyed this and Mark made that look easy, even without a muff 😂😂 good to know it's a relatively simple fix and not too expensive. Lovely to watch you both as always. Lots of love Julia and Gary 💕❤

      @@wanderinwilds so many places I could go with muffs and leaks but will keep it clean 😂😂😂 thanks so much for the well wishes, you don't realise how rubbish it is to be unable to walk until you can't, but hopefully I'll be back on my feet soon 💕

      Hi guys thanks for watching 😃 how old is your Luna champ? We think the older Motorhomes are built to last! We were shocked at how easy it was to change the seals 😳 We would definitely recommend you changing the seals it’s done the trick for us 🤩 safe travels, Debs and Mark 😊

    Hey guys, great repair. There's nothing worse than leaks inside. Our camper is 90% window, but thankfully we have been running away from rain for the last two years 😂

      @wanderinwilds  Рік тому +1

      Hi guys your so right leaks inside is an absolute ball ache !! I was actually surprised how easy this was to sort, apart from the initial outlay it was worth doing. Like you say when you have loads of windows in your van nothing worse than water ingress! Keep dodging the rain 🤣 as it’s awful here right now !! 🌧️🌧️ thanks for watching 😃 safe travels guys 🥰 xxx

    Fantastic video, I have exactly the same issue on a Autotrail, window manufacturer Polyplastic Roxite. Slightly more extensive leak than yours, but hopefully captured before it has done too much damage. Could you please post details of the place where you acquired the replacement seals, Thank you.

    • @wanderinwilds
      @wanderinwilds  9 місяців тому

      Hi Tom thank you! 😃 Not sure if yours is the same model Autotrail as ours, but we got our replacement seals from www.sealsplusdirect.co.uk it was £8.00 a meter. I think this is the part number CS4338 it’s called Caravan and Motorhome Polyvision window seal. Also another tip is on the actual windows themselves the catches if you look closely are marked A and B, we turned ours round to get a tighter seal. Really hope you manage to get your issue fixed 🙏 there’s nothing worse than a leak in your pride and joy!! 🥹 Please let us know if it has worked 😊 good luck and thank you for watching, Debs and Mark ❤️ xx

    Hi I have an autotrail motorhome and I have the same problem, after sending £ 100 on new seal rubber I still have the same problem. ? at the moment I'm using a 20 mm wide strip of j cloth tucked over the frame to soak up the water and let it run outside in a capillary action. It does seem to be working at the moment but I have not found ware the water is coming in

    • @wanderinwilds
      @wanderinwilds  9 місяців тому +1

      If you look at the catches they should be marked A and B might be worth turning them round which will pull the window tighter to the seal. Let us know if this stops the water coming in. Mark and Debs 😀
