RV FEATURE
WINDOW FRAME
The rattle of the window frame over corrugations
made one of the screws fall out. All that was
needed was some adhesive glue to secure the
original screw.
DRAWS AND CUPBOARDS
BUNK CURTAINS
Again, thanks to our boys being a little rough
when using their privacy curtains, our five-year-
old managed to pull his entire curtain rail down.
A little silicone and larger screws were required
to put it back in place.
Mainly in the kitchen area, two of the drawers
and cupboards had loosened and been pushed
out of alignment. Thankfully, this was an easy
fix by pulling the draw out and tightening the
adjustment screws to straighten. CARAVAN HANDBRAKE ADJUSTMENT
STABILISER LEG TOILET CASSETTE
Broken from over tightening with impact driver.
This was a ‘MacGyver’ fix, as we replaced the
broken pin with a bolt Wayne had to cut down to
size. Oh, and we stopped using the impact drill
on the legs!
CARAVAN BRAKE LIGHTS
We noticed our brake lights were out on the bumpy
track to watching sunset at the Breakaways,
SA, which is not what you want at night time!
Thankfully, it was just a loosened wire that needed
re-threading and tightening down.
The cable had stretched, meaning we had to pull
the handbrake up higher each time we pulled up.
Using the adjustment nut and bolt, the wire was
able to be ‘firmed up’.
The opening panel was getting stuck thanks to
broken pieces of toilet paper, so we gave it a
good clean and silicone-greased all the rubbers
and toilet flap.
FRONT DOOR
This dropped out of alignment from our five-year-
old’s method of swinging/standing on the frame
to open it. With a readjustment of the hinges, it’s
back to level.
Even the best-built caravan will require repairs. The best
advice: enjoy your travels and relax!
