Questions & Answers
Why the roof cover thing? Is it not watertight? w********r (389 • 07:07 pm, Thu, 18 AprAs per auction description, it has a leak around the sunroof. The cover was made to stop the leak. monstermetals (1072 • Thursday, 18 April 2024Sorry I should have expanded the question. Is it just the sunroof that's leaking? Seems excessive to make a cover rather than fix the leak if its from a single point w********r (389 • 07:09 pm, Thu, 18 AprI'm unsure if it's just the sunroof, but by looking at the inside of the caravan, the damage only appears to be around the sunroof area. Thank you. monstermetals (1072 • Thursday, 18 April 2024cover looks like a great idea for any camper parked up to prevent leaks.. i***********g (39 • 09:47 pm, Thu, 18 AprI think it's a great idea for any caravan as well. If someone buys this to restore, it will be a great cover to use during the resto and again after it's finished. monstermetals (1072 • Thursday, 18 April 2024We're is pickup pl b******a (124 • 08:42 am, Fri, 19 AprNot to sound rude, but location is written in the auction. Please read the whole auction description so you know the issues etc that are associated with this caravan. Thank you. monstermetals (1072 • Friday, 19 April 2024What would you expect it would need to pass a wof? Would it tow to Paeroa ok? m*********s (247 • 05:28 pm, Tue, 23 AprTo get a wof, it would need at least the tail lights to operate. It does not need front marker lights for a wof, and neither will it need brakes for a wof. It's had quite a bit of work done to the chassis, so I don't see any issues there. The bearings have been removed, cleaned, and repacked with grease. After this, they were slightly noisy, so may or may not pass a wof. Wheel bearings are cheap as to replace, though. Absolutely can be towed to Paeroa. monstermetals (1072 • Tuesday, 23 April 2024
