Large patch stuck down with Sikaflex Ral?

Cheap and cheerful and let the next owner repair it properly if needed.

 

[trevskoda]

Thine bit of alloy stuck down and either leave it as so or a thin bit of glass fiber matting over it and sealed with white paint, Robs prob on the ball.

I would get a piece of checkered plate aluminium and sika flex it down

 

[Wooie1958]

Because you`re down under you`re the other way up to us so it won`t rain on the roof

 

[caledonia]

Couple of rolls of gorilla tape.

 

[mark61]

Yeah, few bin bags and rolls of tape.

Sweet truck otherwise.

2 month fix, widest roll of flash band you can buy.

I’m thinking the price of fuel in NZ must be cheaper than the UK

As Mark said though, interesting camper.

Guessing they don’t have many narrow, twisty roads over there?

 

[n brown]

yes ,flash band

 

[Scotia]

Bridge with fibreglass or alloy and flashband ( applying a little heat when covering )

 

[Pudsey Bear]

cut it out to a rectangle, bolt ply inside ally plate on the outside to make a solid sandwich, seal it and forget it.

I use alminum tape here ! as summers coming over there , no heat related fixing will stay good in 40/50 degrees . put a solar panel over it.

I like that bus very nice if it’s just temp then flash band and a coat of isoflex or something similar.

Just looked at the photos again .I’d cut it back a wee bit and rivet an alloy plate on that then seal over the top With a torch on smooth finish roofing felt then coat it .

I think I would be more concerned how long its been like that and where all that water will have gone and for how long inside the van. You might be able to repair the roof but will it not be riddled with damp elsewhere or is it all metal inside? Shifting it on might be an issue although there seems to be a fair bit of interest in it

 

[molly 2]

Clean round hole . Aluminium sheet loads of sealer , pop rivet it down if you want to go to town etch primer .rattle can , underside, to help adhesion brush paint repair ,,

Just shy of 7 metres Marie, I know, they look huge. Our last camper here looked to be about 8 metres, measured it at 6.93 metres.
We filled Lou's car 2nd day here @ 75p a litre, the same garage is now selling 84p a litre. Definitely on the up.
No narrow twisty roads?
Some of the mountain roads are like helter skelter.
We drove the Wanganui River Road, absolutely spectacular, turned a tight downward hairpin and was confronted by a landslip. Half the road was gone! We were safe though, the roads department had placed a plastic cone to stop motorists falling hundreds of feet to their death.
Land slips are very common here, earthquakes and heavy rain being the main reasons, plus NZ is a 'new' country in geological terms. It is constantly
changing.
Last time here we experienced a 5.8 earthquake, pretty exciting! The harbour at Kaikkura had a ground heave of 4 metres, where once it was just water, next day it had a ruddy great rock formation sticking out of the surface!
Also came across railway lines that had crossed over each other, bridges that had parted mid way and lots more.
Who needs Alton Towers when you have NZ.
