havent found a successful way of dustproofing our
Penguin camper. Have tried masking tape, but it comes off when travelling. Can anyone help?

Where is the dust mostly getting in Tawnsey?
We had and old wind up camper and dust poured in through the four seasons roof vent, and through the seams around the wheel arches. Gathering the bed covers and shaking outside than a good sweep was the simple way.
Very little dust gets in our present caravan, and I have ways of blocking most.

Our
Penguin is now pretty good, but aside from the obvious door and fridge vents, the major dust inlets were gaps in the metal wheel arches and the hole in the woodwork at the back of the fridge for the wiring to run under the bed to the battery and "charger". For the wheel arches, I just used silicon to seal all the open seams. For the hole for the wiring, duct tape stopped the dust getting into the underbed space. I don't normally block the fridge vents as we run the fridge on 12v while travelling; this means an occasional removal of the bottom vent is required to vacuum out the space. There are a number of solutions to covering the door vent, but as others have advised, you must remove the cover in order to be protected from a gas leak.
