In this video I show you how i went about resealing my caravan. I was a bit worried about how the old seals were holding up so I decided it was time to do a reseal. In this video i show you how to seal a aluminium clad van with j moulds.

It’s been a while since you did this, but from my experience with the same type of van with the vinyl stone guard on the front is watch that like a hawk man. As soon as it gets a hole in it get rid of it. There’s padding under it that will wick moisture and it will find its way behind the metal into the wood frame. As the vinyl ages it will pull away from the sealing compound on it and again moisture will get in. I’d replace the front where the vinyl is with checker plate. And the best stuff I’ve found to sealing edges, j mould, etc is bostik v4. Pure silicone that has huge flex and as it’s not an adhesive if you want to remove the j mould for maintenance reasons it’s a whole lot easier.

Hey man, I’m desperately trying to find replacement seals for what you unscrewed Amy ideas on where to buy would be amazing!

These are called J moulds. If you do a google a few stores should show up. Sorry it won't let me link in the comments.

Hey mate, did you re-use the metal corners? or were they replaced? Not the rubber seal - i mean the part that caps the corner that gets screwed in. I can't find any info on where to buy them, let alone what they are called, so i'm curious if you just cleaned your existing ones up, or replaced them.

Hi Mate, yeah I reused this. Unless you really ruin it when removing it I wouldnt bother replacing it. You just need to make sure you spend some time removing the old silicon. If you do need to buy it its called "J Mould" and i think most caravan repair shops should sell it. Cheers.
