Motorhome undersealing.

Hi Funsters,
Does anyone out there know of or can recommend a Motorhome undersealing centre in or around the Swansea area please. TIA.

If you're able, it's worth a go yourself. I did mine when it was new and was worth the hour or so that it took.
I used Waxoyl and brushed it on the areas that were reachable and then used a Waxoyl rattle can for the more difficult areas.
I re-did it a couple of years later. There actually isn't a great amount to do. On mine, the main chassis beams are galvanised (I did give their edges a going over).
We're off to Spain next week and I'm taking the kit to give it another going over!

Lanoguard seems to be quite well regarded nowadays. Has to be redone every year though but it's not too messy and there's no chance of rusting going on undetected underneath it. If it's a new vehicle I'd get it done proper.

I think the flavour of the month of rust protection is lanoguard. I remember in the 70's and 80's thick underseal was the fashion but was later the cause of bigger problems for some people as any small cracks allowed water to be held in contact longer causing more rust unseen until it was a big problem. I had a triumph vitesse 15 years ago where a previous owner had laboriously removed a lot of the underseal the try and prevent it causing a problem.

Thinking about it is rust on the chassis these days anywhere near as big a problem as damp in the coach-built body

We live 200 yds from the sea and don't really get any problems worth worrying about these days.

I agree that Lanoguard seems to be popular and it looks very easy to apply.

I just didn't fancy having to do it every year. Whilst I have repeated the waxoyl, I haven't really had to do it, it's been more through choice.

When you think back to how cars were it's totally different these days. I can see why it's worth treating a classic car especially after bodywork rebuilding but for vehicles built today is it worth bothering?
