kimbowbill,
I don't know the exact nature of your roof problem but I'm guessing it may be a leak around a skylight?
If so, I had a similar leaking problem when we were doing our conversion and fitted a skylight to the roof of our Transit. I tried all sorts of recommended sealants that were purpose made for caravans and boats, etc. but all to no avail.

Finally, I decided to go with my instincts, and against all advice, I used a big tin of Isopon P 40 fibre glass (buy from any car accessories shop, like Wilco.
Using a trowel, I built up the fibre glass all around the square joint of the skylight so it extended over the joint edge and about 2 inches outwards, and sloped down to the level of the roof (so the rain will run off).
If you do try this take your time and be patient. The fibre glass is very sticky to work with. I built up layer upon layer and it took me a whole day. You don't want to leave big overlaps or lumps because this stuff sets like concrete and is a bu**er to sand down.
I used the whole £24.00 tin but it worked!

Thanks, i have done the same as you, sealed it and re sealed it, i was unsure where the leaks were coming in so i have covered up the skylight and put the hose on the roof, nothing has come in so it has to be the skylight, i dont think i have the patience for that tho, i have got some seal fix now, i will give that a go and if all else fails i will try what you did, thanks again

I started reading this but the layout is so bad that after a few lines I just gave up. Whatever happened to paragraphs - they make reading so much easier.

sum ov us never went to scoo

Holy mackerel, Kimbo...I goes away and when I comes back you're drowning in your own van! Really sorry to hear of all the traumas...can't believe about that green flag jerk either!

I had leaky skylight on a van once and it was the fibreglass that worked in the end...i think capillry action allows the water to get places u wouldn't believe! Good luck with it and if you need a work party, let us know.
