PW Plateau - leaks over front doors?

We're looking at online photos of a used PW Plateau. It looks like there might be water damage in the cab ceiling, over the rear top of the doors. Have other PW owners had this problem? If we get there and there is a leak, would this be difficult to repair?

  • We called today about the camper and it's already sold. Probably just as well since it showed lead damage. Thanks for your replies.
  • Thanks for sending the link. It looks good, and great price, but we don't want the shower in the hallway. I HATE campground showers, that's one of the main reasons we're looking to upgrade.
  • the source of a leak and the results of a leak can be quite a distance away from each other.

    I'd really suggest an in-person close look at any leak.

    we had a slight leak into the rt rear over-bed ( sofa) cabinet...but it only happened when parked, not driving and was a devil to figure out.

    eventually tracked down to the sealing around the vent fan...the water could enter at the rear and then seep on top of the ceiling material and makes it's way into the cabinet....it initially looked like the leak was around the vent stack or the antenna...the water was moving about 3 feet through the ceiling before making my socks damp...

    anyway I spent a couple of days and removed everything and the 10 year old sun exposed sealer ...and made it all nice and new.
