I have an '07 full throttle 5er. I have been busy with repairs on this rig. I was sitting here browsing and came upon this thread. Am I to assume that since this is a sticky, that WW's have an unusually high amount of problems. I don't doubt it. This thing has more problems than I care to remember. I am in the middle of repairing the garage wall from water intrusion from the wheel well. The entire lower wall was rotten. I cut a piece of treated 2x12 to fit in the space, coated it with flexseal and wrapped it in Tyvex. Once that was bolted in, I resealed the side to the board. Used expanding foam where needed and under-coated the whole thing with flexseal. Pain in the ass for something that should have been sealed at the factory.
Let me guess,,, the wheel well separated from the wall and floor. Textbook WW(and many other TH) wall sag symptom.
Just fixing the symptom will not fix your problem.
It will only get much worse, more costly to fix.
Do a search for WW wall sag. Its a frame problem.
If one wheel well was already leaking enough to cause water damage, you've probably got it bad.

Well, not exactly. I wouldn't call it wall separation. It was water thrown up by the wheel and just rotted out the area above it, which just happens to be the front corner of the garage. Once completed, I plan on having the underside undercoated. This should seal up any other areas. I purchased a moisture meter and will be going over the trailer with a fine tooth comb looking for any more problem areas. If this is wall separation, then I have it. If it does get worse, I don't have much choice but to just keep fixing this POS. Is it just WW that was built this bad or are all trailers lacking in any kind of quality workmanship and materials?
