if you get stuck I have room and could erect the marquee over the van but would need help to get it up and covered plus someone to actually do the roof sealing. a rubber roof sealing compound would probably be the answer and do the whole roof, Trouble is it generally only comes in black or grey.

Can't help at all as useless at stuff like this and don't have any undercover storage, but just to say I hope you can get it sorted out soon, Sue.

I used this on my previous 'van along the roof seams that were a bit suspect. After 4 years it was still in place and working well.

It was the Evostik version that I used.

 

[Nesting Zombie]

I THINK she has disappeared, Hope it's sorted.

[trixie88]

think its been very generous of you to offer help with such gusto and enthusiasm.......and like you, do hope sue has managed to sort something out......happy travels to you n. zombie.

 

[Nesting Zombie]

Thank you Trixie, Make sure you come & say Hi, if you see a Fat Zombie near you !

Roof repair

Hi sue sent you pm let me know if you got it. Wully

Hi Guys, First of all Really sorry i havent replied to some of your kind offers of help but its been a hectic time. Nesting Zombie: you have gone above and beyond with your offer of help and i really appreciate it, Wildman: thankyou for your offer of the marquee and a venue to do the repairs, And the other OP who also offered me a space.
Loosercruiser who repairs fibreglass roofs has also offered his help as has Martlet, Thankyou all...!!

So to sum everything up ive read and taken note of everybody's advice and have decided to do a temporary repair (or tarp) as i think trying to do the repairs this time of year would be a waste of time.

So...come the spring i shall try and find a venue fairly central that suits the people that would still like to help. And of course i shall supply copious amounts of doughnuts!!!

You people on here never fail to amaze me with how generous of spirit you all are...!!!
