"Sealant Leakage" (1 Viewer)

[Norfolk Red]

Hi to all Burstner owners.
We went to the Norfolk Motorhome show today. Whilst looking around the various motorhomes for sale, we came across several Burstners for sale, not brand new but not that old.
I was surprised to find on 3 of these motorhomes for sale that the sealant was leaking out behind the joining strip.
I don't think it is fair to name the dealer that had these for sale, but it would be fair to say that it is one of the more reputable dealers out there.
As we have been looking around to change our motorhome and narrowed it down to probably a Burstner, we were dismayed to see this on what I thought was more of a top end company in the motorhome market.
Appreciate it has been very hot and perhaps the heat has caused this, but no other makes we looked at had this problem.
So I was wondering if any of you Burstner owners have had this problem, and if it is a problem, or an easy fix ?
Any help on this would be grateful.

Regards,

Mark & Anne.

There was a thread sometime in the last 2 weeks where someone had similar problems with burstner seals exuding sealant, rather like beads of sweat.

We bought a new Burstner and noticed considerable excess sealant around rear camera and logo. Dealer wasn't surprised, so assume regular issue.
This is something they will tidy up when checked over at end of year.
Very pleased with van.

Perhaps a bit unsightly but better to see too much sealant rather than too little.

Ours was like that, I left well alone because it told me the mastic was still flexible and doing it's job.

Same with ours.

Happens on all German vans to some degree, because they use sealant in their joints unlike lots of other manufacturers that don't bother.

Same with ours.

That is good, it was designed to withstand the occasional inclement weather in Brugges.

I only have the testing franchise for Teesside, not valid in Belgium
