Please, we could use some advice. We are looking at a camper that hasn't had a propane vent on it for at least 5 years in Oregon weather, and it rains all the time here. We figure that water had to go somewhere! We didn't lift the panel to look at what corrosion might be going on but will be headed back out this weekend to take a closer look. What exactly should we look for? Isn't it totally possible that the water leaked down to the box and it's rotting it out? The camper is still on the truck so it's hard to see that area of the camper. Plus, we figure the water is going exactly where you probably don't want water the most, straight to the electrical and gas components! Any suggestions/help/advice? Thanks!
Sounds like my Travel Lite and the vent is out the side.Plastic covers behind the fridge do the venting. Pull the plastic covers and look. If it was built without a top vent there will be no rotting from it NOT being there. If it's built in the USA/Canada it will be built correctly. If it was built with side covers it will vent out the plastic side covers. Hope this helps.
