Hi Guys, First post on the
forum. I have read all the threads but nothing seems to answer my query. I am towing a jayco eagle outback to
innamincka in may and wondering whether I should try and seal the vents and even run some gaffa tape around the pop top to try and prevent dust entry. Any thoughts on this please.
Also I have read the threads on back window damage and stone chips. I hadn't even thought about that but will take some preventative now, thanks!

G'Day,
we tow a goldstream off road camper and have done dozens of out back trips with it and have got it to the point where it is almost dust proof.
1st thing we did, where the top meets the bottom we ran and extra seal around here that sticky backed sponge type about 5mm x 10mm and this worked a treat.
2nd thing we do is seal the door also works
well.
3rd thing is ajust the latches acouple of turns on the lid to make the seal tighter.
I also think we are a bit lucky as the vents for the fridge on our camper are in front of the camper wheels so we get less dust in here than you would think.
opps almost forgot the other thing we did was to get under the camper and make sure that all the
places where water pipes and the like enter the van are sealed as
well and make sure you put the plug in the sink when travelling.
After all this we still get a little bit of dust in the van but not enough to worry about and a fair bit less than some others we have seen.
Hope this helps
pmacks
