Never had to take a window out in my house, hotel room or tent!

I slept in a tent on Saturday night covering for scouts who had a leader down.
Had a really great nights sleep tbh.
Although did have to get up for a wee at 5 in the morning and couldn't be bothered to find my boots, wet grass as it was raining and then I realised what I have begun to like about the caravan. :lol:

The window that had the sealant that had deteriorated, looks as though it was just put on the top and I know this was a proper caravan dealer who did thework.
Don't really fancy taking the windows out tbh...

That's the stuff. There's 221 and 512 haven't been able to work out the difference, but the marine one can be used underwater, so that sounds good!

Ian, taking a window out is really easy TBH. Nothing like a house window. A few screws and it comes apart in 2 halves. Clean it up with white spirit to remove all the old sealant, apply some new sealant and refit. Takes about an hour if done properly Fella.

It's the trim at the top that needs to come out. I'll have a good look around it at the weekend.
Don't suppose anyone has a workshop manual for a Bailey do they....?
