So final day of France trip I managed to put a hole in my Luton roof. Any advise guys? It's a bailey van so Alu Tec roof, fibreglass.

Do I just fill with sealant?
Can it be easly repaired and painted over?
Big sticker?
Or local body shop with credit card? :cry:

stick anything over it just for the timebeing so no water gets in duck tape or bathroom mastic will do (bearing in mind I am no expert).

Johns Cross motorhomes can do a proper fibreglass repair when you return home. Their work is excellent


Am sure there will be someone more knowledgeable along soon although many funsters are at shrewsbury this week

I did something very similar in the fibre glass part of my Autotrail whilst visiting Spain last year. I taped it up and had it repaired at home by Elite Motorhomes.:thumb::thumb:
It cost a shed load of money :Doh::Doh:
Never trust someone else to guide you in :Sad::Sad:

Since 2009 with motorhomes several caravans then tents before that.
Oops, I would do as Gail said with the duck tape for now. Then maybe check out a boat repairer. Aren't they fibre glass. Might be totally wrong:Doh: but that's off the top of my head without googling it::bigsmile: bit far to go to johns cross from Ireland though:winky:

Duct tape for the time being, depends on how nice you want it to look.

DIY fibreglass ribbon on inside, should the only show as hairline crack on outside with a bit of luck but surely its insured!

Its double skinned with insulation between, so its only the external skin damaged..

Got some Silicone to fill hole temp and I will get it to a body repair shop next week.

Thanks
