I own a 12 year old Ariva GT 4 berth.  It seems to have developed a leak whenever it rains water gets trapped between the door sill and the rubber seal, depending on the amount of water this eventually spills over onto the carpet. 

Has anybody else experienced this or something similar, obviously with the winter approaching I need to get this fixed as soon as possible.  Any thoughts ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I had this when my door had dropped on the top stable part and needed adjusting, as the door wasn't making a good seal at the top of the frame. best way to check this is to wait until dark and shine a torch around the frame, if you see the light coming in then you have gaps around the rubber and door.

I adjusted the height on mine via the hinges, there is a small amount of adjustment where the screws are on oblong holes and attach the door to the hinges.

It sorted the problem for me. Also if you have a door vent sometimes when its windy and raining, rain can drive in there, so in those conditions I cover the vent over on 3 sides with some polythene and tape.

Hope you get it sorted.

Many thanks for the suggestions - we have established there is a gap on the hinge side top part of door it hasnt dropped some of the rubber seal has come off - when this has happened we dont know.

We have decided to get a new rubber seal for the top of the stable door and new rubber seal to put around the bottom part of the stable door.

We have tried one caravan outlet but they werent much help - basically said the caravan would probably be too old to purchase new rubber seal.

I live near Sunderland does anybody know of a dealer who would stop such items or is there any reputable companies on the internet or should we ask Lunar direct?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
