    That`s a cut out panel van hatch , as you`d expect i suppose .
    Posting a pic of the window seal from the outside would help :thumbsup:

    Nah, thats a safari window, which is nice but also the reason for the leak.

    Wiring caught light, I think I was trying hurry too much getting the camper ready for this weekend - I think it's destroyed the wardrobe unit and most of the wiring for the lights and water.

    @Louise ... if it's a safari (opening) window, and if it IS your main reason for a leak I would suggest flogging it (£300?) to help with the leak (top hinge) and put the money towards other work :)

    Just cleared up the fire extinguisher stuff - think I got some of it on my chest

    Looks like most of the auxiliary wiring has been damaged within the wardrobe/side unit and somehow only minimal damage to the unit - I might getaway with just a new shelf.

    Guess what I'm doing for half term next week?

    Wow! I thought you just meant you'd set it off accidently! Good job you had it though!

    At the edge it looks like fibreglass body filler has been used
    Can you take a closer picture of this area
    [​IMG]

    If it has been filled with fibreglass filler then it would suggest that that area has rotted out which in turn indicates there has been water ingress over a long period of time.

    Started the shopping to get the electrics 'fixed' :confused:
    I already have plenty of cable (1 roll black and 1 roll red)
    I've just purchased a new fuse box to try and make things tidier and easier to manage
    [​IMG]
    Now to just cough up the rest of the Fire Extinguisher dust, rip out the old wiring and start again :rolleyes:

    I'm hoping it will look half as neat as the picture. It's burnt spaghetti at the moment.

    Looks like fibreglass to me as well.
    Give it a tap, it’ll be pretty obvious if it is...

    It’s soggy chipboard! Trust me! I’ve scooped it all up and slopped it into a black bag.
