I replaced all the timbers in the front of my old avondale kestrel a few years back.straight forward once you have removed front trims,3 windows.and any furniture fixed to window shelf above and below.i also found the front timbers that hold the sides to the front were rotten so awning rails had to be removed.also bottom shelf below windows was shot.sounds bad but really is easy.

the window rubbers are the main leak source on these vans.. mainly the small front side ones..

they are at an angle and water runs in them if they are not perfectly sealed or stuck to the front of the van..

if its an avondale with the one piece fibre glass roof it has a good over lap where the roof joins the sides so the leak isnt likely to be there..
