How to fix a leaking window

Water ingress into caravans can be a major problem.

Water ingress has the potential to cause expensive damage to your pride and joy. Window seals are a common culprit of leaks but, luckily, theyโ€™re quite easy to fix. Itโ€™s a do-it-yourself job most people could manage with a few ordinary tools and a couple of spare hours. Glynn Magain from the RV Repair Centre in Bayswater North, Vic, said there wasnโ€™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. Re-sealing a leaking window involves removing the window from the van, removing the old sealant โ€“ whether itโ€™s silicone, foam tape or both โ€“ cleaning the window, re-sealing and re-inserting the window.
