Hi all,
I recently purchased a 22ft caravan onsite at the Hawkesbury River. The van is an older model Windsor (mid to late 80's at a guess) and comes with a canvas annex. The annex has mould on it and the annex roof seems to be leaking. The caravan also has a few leaks by the look of the stains around the roof. The water appears to be coming in around the roof vents and at a guess, some water seems to be coming in around in a few corners.
My questions are:
1. What should I use to clean the mould off the canvas annex
2. What product should I use to re-waterproof the annex
3. What products and steps are required to re-seal the van roof where the water is coming in around the roof vents and around the seems of the van
Any info is greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Jason

Jason,
As "Waazzza" says - use Sikaflex" ,,,,,,,and only Sikaflex.
It's twice the price of silicone but it's good stuff and doesn't peel off after a couple of years. It'll save a lot of 'dong again' down the track.
There are many different types off Sikalflex - Use Sikaflex Automotive.
