Re: Re: straps to hold roof down
my Dormobile has lost the exterior straps that held the roof down whilst travelling. All that remains are the steel loops on the roof that a strap went through and two single bolts with the remains of some canvas strapping trapped between the head of the bolt and the panel. Is this a common set up?? There are no other holes or marks that suggest she was never altered??

Hi Mick,
My dormobile had the straps fitted as you describe, one had been replaced over the years but both were worn out. I’ve been searching for some time to come up with an alternative way to secure the roof and stop the rattles 😆
I wasn’t too keen on the toggles as in the pics above, but today I found these and purchased a set 😀 They look a bit modern but work perfectly, holding the roof secure and no rattles.
