Sealing High Top to Van Roof

Hi all, Now the weathers dry enough to do some work on the van outside, I thought I would try and change the sealing stuff for the rain gully between high top roof and van roof, if you know what I mean? (The rim is rusting from the inside out due to water getting in the sealant bits that have split)...

Re: The Right Heater for my Westie??

Thanks for the info. My heater was removed before I bought it, not really sure why. And I was wondering which heater would be the right one for my bus. I read somewhere else that the one I found on ebay (Trumatic 1800) was OK but it´s now extremely hard to find spares. I think I´ll try and get a Ebe...
