Avondale Rialto 640/6 2003.
Just noticed damp soggy boards around the toilet and spreading into the bunk area. should i replace the whole toilet? i cant see where the water is getting in, the tank seems ok maybe its the door?
will i need to remove the bunks to repair the damp? im not that confident about repairing it myself. How much would it cost to get a pro in?

More likely the awning rail if its now in the rear of the van. Taking it to the pro's will cost a fortune depending on damage. Someone who is good at DIY can get the same results as a pro.

Would suggest you take a look at the Fixed it club to see the idea of the work involved in repairs.

If your confident at DIY give it a go.

First thing I would do is to get your caravan under cover to stop anymore ingress. Take a look at the fixed it club listed on this website. Then decide if you want to attempt the repair yourself. It can be time consuming but very rewarding.

If you want to attempt it then come back here and we will all guide you in the right direction. Any problems you have or advice you need there is plenty of people here that will help you!
