We have just added upvc decking to our present caravan. Our two previous vans had wood decking allready attached. What I have noticed, our new decking is butted right up to the van , where as our previous two had a gape between them. What i want to know is should I be concerned about this or not . Any comments regarding this would be welcomed.      Peter smith

I would imagine the gap with the wooden decking would be to allow room for the wood to expand like when laying wood flooring

Plastic expands too. I'd be concerned.

And...

Is there a 'fall' in the decking too??

As in which way will the water (rain?) run off it?

Away, or towards the van?

This may cause problems too...
