Leaking skylight


Hi folks

Banglabill here asking how do I remove a skylight from the roof of my 2012 Bushmaster bluegum caravan I can see the name REGIS on the plastic cover but I cannot see any visible screws to get the thing off the roof so I can seal it, it is the one over the bed. We are not using it at the moment but will be soon.

If anyone can help me or point to where I can get some information I would be very grateful, it has only started to leak, it leaks on the side where the fly-wire folds into.

I live in Dawesville WA

other than this small leak the van is superb.

 

Best regards

Bill Sutherland

Bill ..

Bushmaster are a market leader with a great reputation. 

I would give them a call & explain your problem to the Service Manager.

I'm sure that they will have a solution for you.

Hi Bill Sutherland, this from searching google , but not a lot of use.smile

 

https://www.google.com/search?q=REGIS+caravan+sky+light&client=firefox-b&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiGtNf7v8HdAhULjLwKHfpLAccQsAR6BAgGEAE&biw=1728&bih=862

I saw that you didn't get many replies...

As a plumber I have fixed many leaks, but it all depends on the problem. You see if the vent is good and working my first thought is to do a thorough clean up around the thing and then re seal it.

 

If you have decided to do a replacement with say a nice fan in it then simply grind at it to roof lvel and the thing will soon come off. It is a good idea to first of all get a penet ration size prior to wishfully thinking of a replacement though.

If you bugger it all up.... Bunnings do sell sheets of clear plastic to do a temp patch.

 

I did tell you that I may not be a lot of use...smile

Our vent/hatch above the bed has started leaking (but only when it rains) after more than 7 years on the road.

Mr D gets up on the roof, scrapes away all the old silicon and replaces it with fresh silicon. Seems to work for us.

 Hmmm - I'd be VERY worried if it leaked when it wasn't raining!
