93 Caravan - DO they ALL peel like bannanas?

From : hawkwynd

Q: i was wondering what model caravans have the problem with thier paint i have a 93 caravan and last year it started losing paint especially on the roof and along all the seams and along the gutters of the roof. the paint leaves the vehicle leaving only the primer base. what years was this a problem i heard theres quite a stretch of caravans that suffer this diseased paint.. thanks .

what years was this a problem i heard theres quite a stretch of caravans that suffer this diseased paint.. yes there are a bunch of peelers in my area... and i prevented mine from that by waxing the roof at least twice a year. most people dont take the time or refuse to wax the roof because it is easy to overlook. james .

yea..it sounds like a non electrical issue called vapor lock.... i have a 1985 318cu engine that is wearing me out. this may be a little hard to explain but here goes. the engine appears to run well until it has been driven for about 20-30 minutes in 90 degree plus heat. even then it does ok until i stop for a minute or two like at a stop light. when i attempt to start moving the engine misses and falters. if i really feather the accelerator i just can get it going. once it has picked up a little speed it will run ok under constant speed. i have changed the ignition module the ignition resistor the battery and the alternator. i have found that if i cut the ac off i can get away much better. now on hot days when i have to stop i will cut the ac off until i get rolling again. it appears that the problem is electrical/vacuum related. i am thinking that maybe the distributor pickup may breaking down under heat. the problem will reoccur at road speed if i floorboard it. then it will start breaking down. this is what makes me think the problem is vacuum advance related. any one have and thoughts ot .
