Apparently not having any issues with SWB s which suggests to me the LWB must have more movement when travelling,but either way not happy with conversion company or SCA, £4500 for something wearing out as quick ,especially when it’s only used occasionally , wouldn’t spend my money for so called top of the range again.Lets see what trading standards think.!
I think anything that is allowed to continually rub via a slight vibration could - issue is why does the roof vibrate - interesting to see if other LWB SCA owners have similar problems to see if it is a design or fitment issue.
All comments welcome, regardless of model, especially if it’s things that could affect us in years to come.
Fair point, but you don’t seem to hear so many issues with the swb roofs.
They come with stickers so, even if no number visible on the actual roof you may have one somewhere - ours is stuck just inside the glove box. Might be worth checking all of the obvious and obscure places in the van plus all of the manuals and documentation that came with the van just incase they have placed the sticker somewhere??
Hi, the serial number is key for warranty works. The LWB roof is not manufactured in same way as SWB (194) which is why there may be more problems as its more 'hand made'. Your converter should have the paperwork, order comfirmation, delivery note etc so can back track with SCA to locate serial number.
SCA have always been a good and fair supplier for us, one of the best actually alongside RIB. In their defence, and it may not be in this case, they have to cover themselves from incorrect fitting practices/procedures, many are being DIY fitted - sometimes better than the pros.... - but many not, they cant be held responsible for a bad install.
Ian , I've spoke to Sandra of SCA personally on phone explained my problem to her , she came with various possibility's of why the roof has thinned from a manufacturers fault ,ie roof moulding being to thick, carpet over framework causing friction etc, I did feel we were making progress but now back to square one as no emails being replied to , Rolling Homes of Shrewsbury denied fitting the roof even though I have the invoice stating they did , they have not been in touch even though Sandra made them aware ,nobody can help me with serial number for SCA to locate fitting agent.So I'm sure you can see my frustration on this matter, Roof is totally useless in rain as water just p@@@es through it even though it's been proofed.As your aware it's top drawer equipment that carries a premium price but if it carries a flaw I think it's only fair to make other members of various forums aware.
