We have our new van and everything is almost perfect .....one change we would like to do is to replace the skylight in the bedroom with a mini Heki.

Question is how easy is this to do and if I took it to a caravan centre what should I roughly look to pay ?

it really is very easy.its just a case of undoing the screws to your skylight inside your caravan remove the skylight.scrape off the old mastic,wipe over with white spirit then wipe with meths to clean away residue white spirit.apply mastic ribbon  to lip around mini heki.(have a dry fit first)at the front apply an extra strip on caravan roof.press in firmly then inside the van insert the collar and screw all round eqaully.takes about an hour . fulabeer has a step by step guide on wizards site.

Great advice on the d-i-y option, I got my mobile mechanic to fit one for me, supply and fit was £120 inc VAT.
