I believe its somewhere around the 2.5m mark as its quite a good match for the length of the gutter on the van. This is the only photo I can find of mine at the moment.

Was hoping someone knew the exact dimension. The problem is that when it was on the bongo it was slightly longer than the figure 8 strips and the strips were 3 pieces. The ends of the beading kept creaping out of the figure 8 and over time splayed the end a bit. My idea is to get a bit long enough to span past the bead so the end of the bead is well inside the figure 8. And there is no drips from joins. I can get a 2.5m length of figure 8 but wondered if it was long enough to be longer than the bead. If not then I will get 3 smaller lengths and put up with the drips.

Yes there is. My motordome is buried under a mass of camping gear and didn't really want to disturb it. Was kinda hoping somebody faced the same problem.
