There will probably come a time, even if you look after your caravan properly, keep it in storage and use a cover when necessary. that it will still suffer from leaks. These are more than just a slight inconvenience, because water leakages in a caravan may start as a minor problem, but it can develop it to something a lot more serious.With these removed, the covers should simply lift off. Take careto get hold of both parts (particularly if there’s a breeze!) because they’re very light. Also, be sure to retrieve the four rubber washers between the lowerside of the covers and handles – these are the main seal. Here are 5 useful sealants to give your roofs, windows and awnings the rubber sealing that they need. This ability to change shape and adjust to the forces of contraction, twisting, and expansion is known as tear resistance. The higher this figure, the better the sealant, and the longer the bond it forms will last. If you choose a sealant with low tear resistance, it won’t be able to alter its shape to conform to this pressure without breaking, and you’ll soon be needing repairs. Curing Time

Silicone sealant removers are most useful here as they work at breaking down the sealant and allowing you to remove it with ease.

Tear Resistance Leaks on the inside can be a lot easier to find than you may think, once you know what to look for.

Polyurethane Sealants. Polyurethane sealants are the latest in caravan sealant technology. These are by far the most advanced and effective, providing superior durability and protection compared to the alternatives available. It’s likely that polyurethane sealants have become so popular in recent years because this type of fixing works perfectly with fibreglass. Fibreglass is the material that more newer caravans are built with. It could also be down to the fact that polyurethane sealants can be sanded, painted over and are UV-resistant. An important consideration is your sealants ability to change shape without affecting the protection that it can offer. This change in shape can be caused by expanding, contracting or twisting and tear resistance describes its ability to be able to undergo pressure and force without breaking and needing to be repaired.especially neat finish is required, use masking tape to cover the face edges of the joint and remove immediately once tooling has been completed When leaks are left untreated, they can cause wood to rot and metal to corrode and rust. This can lead to very costly repairs needing to be carried out. Whereas this can be avoided by using caravan sealant to fix leaks while they are just a minor issue.
