Cowl (1 Viewer)

[irnbru]

Vanessas lost her top. It appears our cowl has gone missing. I would like to buy another one but don't know the diameter that it fits onto .
Does anyone know if its a 105mm, 155mm diameter or something else.
Its a 2010 Apache 700 se
Thanks

what is it the vent to? oven / heater ?

something like this?

I think there is only one size, this kit will probably have far more then you need but is only £15, or pop into your caravan shop, they are bound to have one

Yes its the bit at the top that's vanished. Online there is a 105mm and a 155mm listed.

Ladders you must be joking. Mind you I should really go get them and put a poly bag over it as its supposed to rain. Don't want to create damp.

Doggy bags come in handy for something.

But do you know the cowl size now? I know, it's about that big (as she holds her hands apart to indicate size required). No laughing Andy.

 

[DavidG58]

If I had to guess I would say 105mm even that sounds on the large side, I would actually have 'guessed' at 75mm and been completely wrong (again)

Pity you hadn't noticed on \ before Sunday as the shop is 5 minutes away from the scene of your disaster!
Not sure on your dimensions unless these are the diameter of the top plate of the cowl. I thought the Truma "S" fire flue (assuming it's a fire not a Combi?) was a standard at around 2 1/2" diameter (from memory of our caravan days) of the screw-in thread.
The owners name is Neil and he's a good guy. Might be worth a call?

Cheers G. I am heading there this afternoon. Tried a dog bag over it but its blew away so now all the rain can get in.
The owner is a friend of Beerdrinker Ken

Remember. PUT MONEY IN THE PARKING METER! Traffic wardens are rife around there at some times of the day. From memory 10p for 30 minutes.
Alternatively, there is sometimes some spaces in the side streets in amongst the sandstone tenements, if you can find one, for free. There are sometimes some skips about as the flats are regularly renovated \ redecorated.
Not that I'm suggesting anything, of course!

Haha G
Hey you know how us scots get the name of being tight but 10p aint gonna burst the bank. Not worth going looking at side streets in this Pi**ing rain.

 

[Gellyneck]

It's faired up here now so you'll be OK for saving 10p!
Tee hee

 

[Terry]

Hi Sandra I don't suppose you took a tape measure up on the roof with you along with the doggy bag -If you did you would know the size you need -Look on the bright side you need the wobbly ladder again to fit it

@Jaws has a spare cowl he wanted to shift. I'm not 100% that it's the one you need, but I expect he will know.

 

[irnbru]

He already sold me that and it's not a cowl as I expected. More like a lid to fit on top of an existing cowl. And the other bit ..no idea.

 

[Gellyneck]

Two frisby's for the dug!

@Gellyneck . Your link just saved me £2. I bought two and he asked for £5.95 each til I told him his online shop says 4.95
Parking has inflated to a whole 20p for 1/2 hr. Much better than the 60p in town for 20min
Cheers

You'll need to tell me where the 60p for 20 mins ones are. Last one I stopped at (note didn't park!) was 60p for 12mins!
Anyway, glad you're sorted. Only the shoogly ladders to negotiate now.
OK I tried to resist but curiosity has won! I give in why did you buy two? Surely it wasn't so you could save twice the amount of cash?

She is Scottish although not blonde

I give in why did you buy two?

So I have a spare which leads me to a new thread question

 

[irnbru]

All sorted and I even know how to fit the discs I got from Jaws but will wait til I get a flue extender. Whose a clever girl then , and didn't fall odlff the ladder

 

[Terry]
