My g.f. parents own a caravan which hasn't been used in a number of years (though in good overall condition) and are trying to sell it.

There appears to be some corrosion occuring on the body panels. They appear to be made of aluminium, and flaking has occured in the paint (the effect looks similar to paint flaking off a house wall due to dampness) and leaving pitting in the metal.

The biggest are about the size of a one pence piece. The metal around the pitting is soft (with the texture of damp bread!) and can be gouged out with my nail.

Any ideas as to what is causing this and whether it can be easilly filled? :confused:

Probably age and weather along with damaged paint/finish. Patch it with fibreglass as you would a car.
