I have a problem with damp around the middle front window of my 1993 Fleetwood Crystal. Only noticed it when I removed the curtains for washing! We've had the caravan for over seven years and haven't before noticed a problem. However, ever since we have had the caravan there has been a crack in the outer middle window that had been sealed, it now appears that seal has broken. The wood on the inside either side of the main window and under the other two windows is spongey and cracked. It would seem the problem may have been around for a while. I think it would probably cost a fortune to have repaired but I'm afraid I think this is beyond my diy skills. Can you make such a repair without removing the windows and furniture or does everything have to come out? Your site gives me hope that a repair can be done but I'm not even good with a saw! Strangely it doesn't smell of damp at all and the rest of the van seems to be quite sound. Any help and advice would be much appreciated. Thank you. Carole

contact a mobile engineer to test the extent of the damage before you do anything else.

the only silly question is the one you do not ask.
