Kampa Eriba weather protection strip

Hi there I am newbie to the site , I have a Eriba 420 2008 and sooooo pleased with it.
The asking question is, has anyone bought this Kampa weather protection strip and fitted it.
The reason for asking we have the Van de horn awning a nice heavy strong robust awning, but when it rains hard sometimes the small gutters get a bit chocked with debris from trees. Then the rain rains runs into the seam where the awning fits on the rail and down the side of the caravan inside the awning, about where the outside table fits and the vents for the fridge are nr the door. Not gallons but a few cupfuls to be annoying.
Has anyone bought one of these strips !!!! as i may well help when it rains hard and hopefully runs off at the front and rear of the caravan.
Thanks
malcolm

Welcome Malcolm.
If you use the search facility you will see the gutter strip has been covered in some depth. To cut to the chase, ithe Kampa strip is terrible, don't buy it. It's an absolute pain to fit. If you can get hold of the genuine Hymer/Eriba product then buy it. If not then get this:- http://www.sealsdirect.co.uk/pdf/ETS1395DR.pdf
I've owned all three and when fitted they do offer some assistance. You will never stop the "wicking" but using a strip does reduce the problem. Over time you will find a new awning does improve as the fabric swells up after its first soaking and the sewing needle holes close up. After three heavy downpours our new awning is now pretty good but not perfect.
Soaking the awning cord with a tent proofer spray will help a little. Some have reported sticking a bit of blue-tack into the awning track at the ends of the awning cord to stop the rainwater pulling in. Slipping a long cable tie through the rain outlet in the gutter may also help as the water prefers to run down this instead of going back along gutter. This is also a good idea when the van is parked up as it reduces the black streaks that you will get from the gutter holes as water runs down the van.

Malcolm. I�ve got an original Hymer/Eriba strip for a 420 surplus to my requirements!
It�s obviously difficult to post but you might want to pm me to discuss whether you would like to buy it.

Hi I had a Kampa plastic weather/awning strip and have just replaced it with the seals-direct strip which is 100 times better and wow, so much easier to fit it was a dream and very secure. My plastic Kampa strip was awful to fit and kept coming loose. So, great advice.

Thank you.
