Water in air filter

Had the oil changed in our 2002 Itasca Sunrise 32v with the ford V10, shop called to tell me the air filter compartment was full of water. Talked with the tech at the ford dealership we use, and he didn't have a clue how water got into the air filter compartment. Anyone else have this issue?

    Had the same problem. The ford part was unavailable, so my mechanic fashioned a shield from a plastic bottle and a few tie wraps. Works well so far!

    There is a intake "Snorkel" available from Ford to correct this issue. I made the change on my 05 F53 and it worked perfect.

    The part number is XC3Z-9F843-AA , as referenced from TSB 04-24-22

    That was a fairly common problem with them and there should be a TSB correcting it. I had the problem with an RV that I had.
