[QUOTE="Harbourmaster, post: 587171, member: 14207"] Hi Goody I'm restoring a 1967 viscount ambassador and am a member of vintage caravans which covers vans made up to 1970. From 1/1/70 onwards the sister site is called Classic Caravan forum and I would suggest spending some time researching with them as to potential problems. It may well be the window but the J rail which goes over the join between the roof & wall are also notorious for letting water in. These, if they are the cause are easy to unscrew, clean up & reseal. Windows are doable as well, the hard part is cleaning them up for new sealer. Personally I like Sikaflex but others like Mastic. Each to their own I guess. there are sites on Facebook as well that cover different makes of caravans. I hope you can find a solution, these site have some people with amazing knowledge of caravans. the big problem is if the frame is timber & if rot has set in, my viscount has an aluminium frame so easier to restore. Good Luck. [/QUOTE]
