Welcome back to our YouTube channel! Today we're talking about a topic that affects many RV and caravan owners, namely lichen and green algae. These inconspicuous organisms can cause serious problems during long periods of inactivity, especially if they settle in the gaps between the seals and damage them. Let's take a closer look. Lichen and green algae love damp and poorly ventilated environments, just like the gaps in RVs and caravans. They can easily settle there and attack the seals over time. If these seals are damaged, the RV or caravan can become leaky and water can enter unhindered. The consequences can be devastating. Water damage to the interior, mold growth and even structural damage are possible consequences. The seals on windows, doors and other openings, which are crucial for proper sealing, are often particularly affected. What can you do about it? Regular cleaning and maintenance of the RV or caravan is essential, especially if it is not used for a long time. Thoroughly remove lichen and green algae and check seals for damage. Timely repair or replacement of damaged seals can prevent major problems. Lichen and green algae may be inconspicuous, but their impact on motorhomes and caravans can be serious. However, with proper care and maintenance, we can minimize their negative effects and keep our vehicles dry and safe. Don't forget to check and clean regularly to avoid unwanted surprises on your travels! Thanks for joining us!
