Hello all, We have just come back to caravaning after a 13 year break and have just had a rest out week end. On putting up the porch awaning I noticed a very small hairline crack starting from the awning channel downwards for about 100mm / 4 inches. The
position og the crack is about 500mm / 20 inches to the left of the door. Our caravan is a 2008 Coachman VIP 535/4 which we got last week from CouplandCaravans in Louth. The caravan has a 12 month warrenty and the service recieved from them to date has been
excellent. My problem is that I do not know if it is something to worry about or if cracks like this are normal? If I had not been on the step feeding the awning through I would never have noticed.

Please no scare mongering as we have spend may thousands of pounds and already concerned. I am sure that Coupland Caravans will do the right thing, I just do not know what the right thing is!.

 

Many thanks
