Today------I am trying to make some sort of repair on the front r/h/side top corner of our camper:S
I was visiting a cousin of the family yesterday and on a VERY narrow road with an unprotected shear drop down the moutain--------I had an olive tree overhanging over the other side------I could see the leaves and (as usual) brushed against them-----BUT hidden by the leaves was a cut-off branch about 4-5'' thick !!!!!!!!!!!
That was bad enough-------I did not realise what the 'bump' was and carried on for long enough for the branch to heavily gouge the side just under the gutter:o:S ----the full length of the camper
This was the first rain we have had for four months--and today is 'damp' so makes it difficult to keep dry.
The camper has ally cladding so makes for an 'interesting' project while on the road----thankfully cousin has a lot of tools at hand---but no shelter.
Another job for when we get back to England !!
A bit more character for our travelled rig!!
