Running 24hrs, via thermostat it seems to me to be a waste of energy, but also when on power, the element is going unnecessary during the day. This would cut down the wear on the eleme...

Hi all, One of the skylights on my motorhome has developed a leak that's slowly getting worse. After doing some research it seems that Bostik V60 seems to be the product best suited to the job by not being adhesive.
