There is no “core” in my 2018 NL 8-11. It’s two prices fibreglass.
There is wood frame is to hold the floor up and wood frame for the walls, but they are not structural. I went on a tour of Northern Lite manufacturing and watched them build a number of units as they are all built on a line. Yes there is wood inside, but it’s to hold up the inter walls and floors cabinets etc..
I opened up the compartment where the dump valves are it’s fibreglass outer walls with no wood support.
Here is looking straight up the driver side outside wall towards the front of the camper.
The white box on the wall is the outside shower, the brown wall is the shower stall. The pipes are for the shower, toilet sink... no wood other than for floor support
Thanks. I guess I shouldn't worry about it because I do have the know how and the equipment to dry out what wood is in there if it did get wet. As long as I can get air to it I can dry it out. When a piece of wood is trapped somewhere and not able to get air to it then it will become a problem. There is still ways to get air where moisture is trapped if you know what you are doing.
I guess an owner that has their camper outside and not under cover really needs to pay attention to moisture. Weekly and after every rain or snow melt, condensation after camping in it. Neglecting these things is the worse thing you can do. If you have moisture or water intrusion it's time to open up the damaged area and get air to it and get it dry or you will pay for it later.
