Holey Moley ...or words to that effect.

After Bernie removed the awning from the side of the campervan the source of the leak was revealed. Once upon a time the awning must have been hit by a gust of wind and whipped the awning upwards causing it to rip away from the van. 

Left were three gaps ... three decent size gaps!

Nelson Motorhome Ltd in Nelson had a look at the damage and said they would be able to repair it. They're going to cut out the tears and mend them (they said they wouldn't patch over the holes). We've booked it in to be fixed in a couple of weeks so it'll be interesting to see the finished look.

In the meantime we have removed the wood from around and under the window. We've also cleaned the aluminium framing ready to have new 4mm hardboard attached. 

We were advised to use 'no more nails' to attach the board to the framing, as well as rivets. 

It's starting to look better already!
