Service Disaster?

So, we had a bad leak up in the over-the-cab loft in our 2001 Minnie Winnie. Took it in for service to seal the leak. They sealed the leak; a $1000-plus job. Problem is, it was still wet and damp inside ... weeks later.

I told them it seems like they did not fix the leak; they claimed they did fix the leak, but there's so much water inside that it's still damp/wet, now 2 months later!

OK, here's my question: WHY would any service shop seal a leak AND NOT dry out the inside first?? Or at least mention it? Now they want to give me an estimate on taking the front end of the loft off so they can dry everything out, AFTER they sealed the leak.

Shouldn't this shop have done that FIRST??????

Any thoughts?

  • Put a dehumidifier in your rig and a fan to circulate the air. You need to start the drying process before you get mold.
  • Find a dealer that will pressure test your entire coach. Use to be around $100.00 and I have found that this type of test is the only way to find the difficult leaks that may be anywhere..Good Luck
  • maybe, but you need to find another dealer, this one aa ready has enough of your money.might try a body shop. or bring it to ohio we have great mom pop dealer in edinburg ohio called camper care.
