Hi

If it wasn't so long I would have thought it would be easy to make.

Could you make it in 1 meter lengths? Have you any pics of old stuff for an idea?

Cheers

Dave

Go and visit a caravan dealer who also does repairs. Guttering as you describe is common on lots of caravans and so a repairer will know where to get it from - if they don't have it in stock. My caravan has a continuous length of over 18 ft, so I know it exists.

Hi

A collegue has just told me if you go to a caravan builder or ally extrusion place and ask for grip rod, they will know what you want.

Cheers
