Found some leaks....
First one is a crack at the right side of the slide out. I am wondering if this is a structural issue.
The second one leaked the most. This is a design issue more than anything I think: the rubber flaps are arranged in such a way that any water that makes it past the vertical flaps will by directed into the trailer by the lower flap. Any suggestions other than to push it back a bit?
I found a couple spots near the front where the caulking was cracked:
Any recommendations (other than to buy something else. Really looking for advice on how to fix these issues. Wife gives me all the compassion I need. :D :D :D :D )? Thanks!
Edit: Talked to an RV dealer/service place, and the manger told me to go with 1/2" on top of the 1/4" if I can afford the cargo load loss. I did the math, and I have around 1,000 lbs that I can add to the trailer, and I'm figuring 5 sheets of plywood would be more than enough. that equates to 250 lbs. I'll probably use a lot less, so I'm probably going to add maybe 220 lbs total.
Advice on gluing the 1/4" to the insulation: use a water-based contact cement. Then other stuff will react with the foam insulation like gasoline does: not a good idea! hehe!
Once I get my leaks fixed (that I found), and got my new floor in, I'll take my trailer to the RV place and have them do a once-over and make sure I didn't miss anything. :)
