oh rats! guess this was a mistake!

as mentioned before, we traded in our class C for the 2002 Windsong, 34' with 2 slides class A. been finding little things. our Winnebago fit and finish and so much better. we've been making repairs, finding little things. now caught in a pretty good rain squall on the Oregon coast have discovered it leaks in multiple locations. my DH had them "replace" the roof before we bought. we saw no evidence of leaks on the ceiling, but now discover the rugs are wet in front and rear locations and this afternoon coming out of the front TV box. still have other repairs to make and now this? I'm sick. how can leaks from slide seals be repaired? (these are replacements) and in the front--windshield or weep holes?
  • The leaks on the front tv box are probably from the exterior cam lights near the roof. It is a common problem. Remove them and re seal under them and no more problem. I would also seal all the seams on the roof with eternabond. Every rv i owned i did that to and never had any leak whatsoever.
  • I'm sorry your going thru a rough time now with your coach! The leaks needs to be fixed ASAP! When my slide out seal was leaking first we used a hair dryer to dry out the carpet (which we had to pull up) to dry the flooring. We had a RV Shop make the repair because, I didn't have a shop or the tools to make the repair. The RV shop had to use a fork lift to lift the slide out unit out so the old seal could be taken out and a new seal put in. The repair cost us $800.00 Good Luck
