We have a Talbot Express 1300 motorhome and found after our last trip it is leaking water in the roof of the toilet compartment (back end drivers side) We removed the roof light and found the wood was very wet in that area can someone advise how we can repair this we do not have any specialist camper repairers where we are. I originally posted this in the motorhome section but was advised to move it to caravans. Hope someone can help.
Thankyou
Iris

Hi Wizard
John (My partner) has sealed all around the top of the roof light area today when we had a dry spell (Now raining again) I dont know if this will fix it will have to wait a couple of days but I think it may need taking off as there was a wet area just behind the roof light and I presume this will need drying out can I get in touch with you again if needs be ? thankyou for a quick reply didnt think we would get one thats why John had a go today to try and fix it
Regards Iris.

You can't seal effectively around the roof light. You have to unscrew the inner bit, raise the upper outside bit that sits on the roof, and seal under the lip that presses down on the roof. I discovered this whilst doing up my 'van.
