This firm are brilliant if you need seals of any kind. You can browse their web pages for the seals you think may be right and ask for samples. Mine arrived literally overnight!
Great to be able to have samples of different sizes, etc, so that you can try them out and see what will fit properly. They can also advise if you're not sure what you need.
I have fixed draughts/leaks in two different places on my romahome with their products now and both times I requested samples so I could get the right thing for the job.
Just thought someone might be glad of the info sometime.
I browsed for the seals I thought might be the ones, and emailed them with the numbers and asked for some free samples of them. They arrived the next morning and the whole thing was sorted and ordered before dinnertime today!
I have a really old door (on a really old campervan!) and the seal has gone on the inside of the door aperture. You can see daylight coming through. It's an arm and a leg to get it replaced, won't come out, you need a specialist (who would probably say you needed a new door - quite right, I do!)
However, I can't afford that, so a bit (well a lot- weeks) of thinking later, Eurika! I wondered if there was anything I could fit around the outside of the door, so that when it closed against the door aperture, it would stop draught/water ingress. And yes, there is!
The sample looks great. Fits really well, and shuts out the daylight/draught from the outside of the door. I've tried it at different points all around the door itself, just to make sure the door will still shut and lock when in place. It's flexible and got a really good grip, so I'm delighted. It cost around £14 with postage and vat for 4 metres and will make the door look really like new, like there's a new black trim right around the edge.
Edited to add, I will add before and after photos if poss, so you can see the difference. I'm well pleased!
Seals Direct... Don't you need a very large water tank and a good supply of fish ... Seriously this could be very handy for my friend who is doing up an old Sprite at the moment. Thankyou for the thread.

LOL!
Invaluable! I got some neoprene rubber cording for a loose fit between romahome and cab window and pushed it into the gap, it's now waterproof and watertight!
Amazing family weekend with old steam engines, classic car displays, market stalls, and full catering and bar. And camping on site - Save £25 by booking in advance.
