Good Morning everyone.
I spent Saturday morning in my driveway with our motorhome. I calked every area that I could possible see that could be leaking. We took the valance and blind down from the inside and you could see that water had been coming in from one of the screw holes holding up the valance. We took a q-tip and wrapped a paper towel around it and stuck it in the hole. Several times over the weekend I replace the q-tip and the towel as the towel was wet. It bothers me that there was still so much water in the slide ceiling but hopefully this will pull all the water out. If it still leaks after all the sealing I did on the outside, I don't know what else to do.


I was going to put the motorhome back in my storage garage this morning but I wanted to let the calk dry one more day before I retract the slide. Hopefully the county won't give me a hard time. I am only allowed to keep the motorhome in the driveway for 48 hours once a month. Technically is was 48 hours this morning but I plan to move it after work today.
