80750C3D-7209-4DD3-AD9C-2F5D378C0F19.jpeg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)Hi can anyone help please. Our new to us troll 542 seems to have water coming in between roof and cupboards. The van is on a slight tilt and this is where the water seems to be coming in. It has been very windy and hard rain last night. I did see a post on FB that the black rubber needs to have a v cut out to let water drain off. Has anyone got any pictures we could look at, don’t want to be doing this if not right. Thanks in advance.

Hi Jeepy, is your canvas tucked in when the roof is closed? If it is hanging outside water may be wicking into the van.

If you pulled back a bit for a pic, so we can ID where it's coming in on the van we might be better able to advise. A 542, so presumably fairly new?

Hi it is just passed wardrobe righthand side near back corner of pop top

Hi checked that no cavas caught. Thanks for your thoughts

Is the roof up or down?

Is the water coming in on the windward side/direction?

A van should always be pitched level, using levelling ramps if necessary.

The roof is flat around the poptop area but usually drains outwards if level. Put an angle on it and the water will flow inwards, build up around the lip and eventually overtop and come inside. We've pitched in howling gales and never had water inside. We've driven in torrential rain and nothing's come inside.

Hi Randa. We are at home atm. We haven’t used the van yet. Yes we will try the tilt. Thank you

To me it looks like the water is 'hanging' on the aluminium edge , like a large drip that's connected itself to the furniture underneath and the bulge in the furniture at that point may be an optical illusion with refraction through the water droplet.

It's quite possible that Hymer don't feel it's necessary to fully seal the join between the aluminium strip and the hole in the roof because water shouldn't get that far under the roof overhang. Obviously in this case it has and it could be seeping in because it has pooled due to high wind, heavy rain and a tilt. There again, it might be that it should be sealed and it's been overlooked and/or not done properly.

You need to level van water running to lower side comes over lip
