Since owning my pathfinder and only ever having 1 night stays, me and my OH have noticed a draught when sitting down of an evening, coming from around the gas struts .
Hopefully I've managed to solve this problem using a draught excluder.

This is where the problem seem to be the gas strut holds the canvas away.
Plus the metal bracket that holds the ply bed, which I'm also going to hopefully solve later.

Cutting and screwing a draught excluder to the underside of the ply, helps the bed to still be folded out and the brush of the strip runs along the strut and closes the gap, in the first picture and does not interfere with the opening of the bed.

I also bought a roll of rubber draught stopper with self adhesive and stuck it across the back and front, where the ply meets the L shape upstanding closing the draught gap.

I tried that and still got the draught, me and the wife both noticed it, ended up dragging the curtain round. So hopefully this will stop our pesky draught.
It just hits my neck constantly. It's the only real annoying problem ive had.

That draught from the gas strut was more annoying when we sat on the bench seats, but now that we have the "Lisa Porch Awning" we only use the bench seats occasionally and spend most of our time on the recliners in the awning.
It works really well lobey, though I haven't tested them yet. Best place to buy is e bay as you get 2 for just over £5 and will do all 4 sides. I bought from b and q just to try it out £5 for one make sure they're 83mm long as you get two out of these.
