First do no harm.....good thing I am not a DR

While doing the antenna on my 20 year old Adventurer I had to drop a new coax into the cab and used a marine watertight fitting. Obviously I disturbed something with all of my fishing to try and snake the new coax because I dropped it off at the garage yesterday for oil and trans flush and found a nice splash of H2O on the dinette when I stopped.:S

Now the part that will give you a chuckle...one of the light fixtures (of course it had a nice new led bulb in it) was full of water but there were not signs of a leak above it. My guess is that the water is happily running down the wiring from the roof so now I get to go up there, clean it up good, and goop everything I disturbed.

As always....any advice or mockery is welcomed:W

    Post pic. It probably needs more dicor. You did use dicor didnt you? I had a leak around the atenna coax wire. The boot had relaxed enough that it looked ok but was not tight enough on the coax cable and water ran several feet over and into a light fixture and trough a ceiling panel joint and onto dinette.


    It was a marine fitting so I used silicone and mounted...obviously I didn't quite do enough...LOL


    Silicone is not fine for sealing an RV. In fact, it's no good. Dicor or Sikaflex is.


    :B:B

    I will get a tube or two of dicor today to fix my screw up on the roof at least

    Lowes and Home Depot both have both...


    I just searched Lowes & Home Depot online for Dicor & neither had it.
