DRV water intrusion

My Fuzion had that exact problem due to improper caulking of the bedroom slide. I had to replace the floor, luckily not an impossible job.

The caulking looked fine, but when examined very closely you could see that it had not adhered to the lower sill and allowed water intrusion.

What difference does a bedroom slide make then any other slide.

I don’t understand this either. Cummins, can you please elaborate? We are seriously considering a Mobile Suites for our next fiver and would like as much knowledge as possible.

Sure, their bedroom slide gives MUCH less cabinet space. They give a bit more room at the foot of the bed, never a problem for us without the slide. Only advantage is you can say "I have 4 slides". I only have 3 on my nearly 41' DRV.

Really bad part is they are known to have water infiltration causing rotted floors on the bedroom slide.

Like every other product there are issues. We are lucky to have ordered ours without the slide and have MUCH more cabinetry.

If you are considering new take my advice contact Alicia at Rolling Retreats she will help you build your DRV just how you want it. She has many great ideas. We towed from NW WA to Elk city, OK to order ours.

I'm so glad I did not buy a DRV. Sure seems to be a lot of problems with them on the various forums. I think some won't admit since they paid so much:o. Sure have pretty paint though:W. I wonder why there are so many used ones listed for sale?

I Ordered mine a few days after THOR took over. Build quality did not change.

Even with the few I issues I have had I would still buy another.

The ALL rot if you don't keep up on maintenance. Brand is immaterial.

Sure they do, but a high end thats 2-3 years old. Obviously factory defects that were not caught by dealer, nor owner. Chalking , poor fit somewhere was not detected . That thing to be rotting has leaked since day one .
