The filon delamonates, fills with water, turns into a birdbath and sags down in the middle, the cab over section itself is not sagging down...it behaves like a waterbed if you press on it...another fun tidbit, af used thick cardboard material between the filon and the wood veneer. It soaks up water like a sponge and would never dry out.
No you won't fall thru the bed, the stringers are aluminum as well, and block foam insulation glued between, nice part is, water can't really wick into the interior.
That's great to know at least I probably won't fall through, and I was worried about water leaking in and then sleeping in a mold pit!
The RV guy I took it to recommended I installed grates over some air holes to try to get it to dry out at least a bit. But from the little inspection I did, I think you're right, it seems like the cardboard is a sponge that will never dry out. At this point, I guess I'm going to continue to silicone EVERYTHING I can to at least keep more water from coming in, and pray I can have at least a few trips over this summer. Definitely was a long time dream to get a cabover camper, and boy did I learn about what to look for when buying used.
It really is heartening to know there's so much wisdom out there, so grateful for everyone taking the time to chime in on this thread, I'm learning so much!
