Eddie the old Buccaneer is beautiful inside, but is starting to look a bit tired on the outside. Cracks and crazing on the sills and A-frame are becoming quite noticeable, particularly on the corners... Is there anything we can do to spruce him up without
causing unintended further problems? Thank you in advance for any welcome advice.

    I take it M its the GRP thats glazing, used to get this problem with Lotus cars glass fibre bodies, we used spend hours rubbing down, then spraying with a synthetic grey prima then put the colour on then a clear over the top but I think some caravan makers
    put more effort into there GRP my Senator still looks great (no comfort to you) but its usualy terminal unless you love the old girl enough to spend a couple of bob having a repaint, how old is it ?

    Thank you for your reply, and for comparing Eddie to a Lotus, he's very pleased. He's a 1998 coach built caravan, not a classic, just old. Think we may just have to live with it. Will decide how much we invest in him after his service next week, crossing
    our fingers there will be no damp. Worried
