April 2009 - We are currently testing a product called "The Streaker" which is from a company called Caravan Innovations. It is called "The Streaker" because it is designed to prevent the black marks which appear down the sides of your caravan.

It is a moulded rubber strip which you insert into the caravan’s awning rails. It deflects rainwater away from the caravan sides which therefore prevents those horrible black streaks.

	It comes in a handy drawstring fabric storage bag and includes detailed laminated instructions.

	You can just see the black marks starting to appear down the side of the caravan.

June 2009 Update

	We have replaced the Streaker on the Wyoming as it was not long enough! Here you can see the correct length, so it carries on partly down the sides to take the water away.
	This is a recent photograph of our caravan (the Indiana) of the side which does not have a Streaker. You can see that already there are a few black marks appearing.

Update - October 2009

We have now had one on our caravan since April of this year and it has been brilliant!! The sides of the caravan have kept incredibly clean - no black marks from the rain at all! WE have had so many people asking what the "red things" are on our caravans and when we tell them, they all think it's a brilliant idea!

Here are the latest pictures of our caravans taken at the end of October 2009:

	This is a picture of the side of the Indiana. Can you see any black marks?
	This is a picture of the Wyoming taken at the end of October. Again, no black marks!

Another Bailey Senator caravan pitched near to us for the Half Term week and we couldn't resist taking a picture of the side of their caravan - do the sides of your caravan look like this? If they do we recommend they try a Streaker!

We are carrying on the test over the winter months and will add more pictures soon.

March 2010 Update

Here's the latest pictures of the Wyoming which has had a Streaker fitted over the whole of the winter - and what a brilliant job it's done!

My father kept his Streaker on his caravan for the whole of winter with hardly any streaks appearing. The only streaks which did appear were where the rain had hit the window and the water had travelled to the edge and then run down the side of the caravan.

We will certainly carry on using a Streaker for the foreseeable future on both our caravans.

We have today received the following e-mail from David:

Thank you for the information regarding The Streaker, after seeing it on your caravan. I did order a set on Tuesday and paid by PayPal. I received confirmation from them the next day and today (Friday) received them in the post. This is very good service. Please include me on your website as as very satisfied customer - something hard to find today.
