Does anybody know what type the front roof hatch is on a 2011 Warwick Duo?
We've just lost the outer perspex cover in the wind.
It's got to be the worst placed hatch on any motorhome for wind noise!

It was shut.
Driving around Mount Snowdon on Friday in horrendous winds.
In the manual it states it's a Seitz Mini Heki but it has no similarity to anything on the internet. shrugg

If it is a Heki, you are not alone with this problem. Found this on MHFacts this morning....

not allowed to put the link to Facts anymore, so I just found out, so I'm quoting the posts instead

''Arrived at Bunree CC site. Batten down he hatches!!! Heki rooflight was caught in wind coming across Rannoch moor broke the locking catches and shattered the inner perspex on dome, fortunately outer perspex intact, now tied down with bungees. Not a good start to trip to Scotland''

'' Not a good start indeed! Lets hope you are missing the snow the rest of the country is enduring. Replacement domes can be ordered from Leisure Spares who are the UK importer for Seitz spares.''

''The same thing happened to us when we were on a Cl at Thirsk only the wind ripped our dome clean off, we had to use duck tape for the rest of our stay.
I found O,Learys to be the cheapest for a repacement''


sounds like poor quality and design to me if the wind can get under it and rip it off.

Quoted build ref to spares at Autosleeper.
Unit fitted was a Hartal, Not as stated in the handbook and now replaced by the Seitz Mini Heki.
Cleveland Motorhomes have ordered us a replacement dome from Miriad.
I think they are all affected by winds because they are ventilated and not airtight. confused3
