I called Lance when I had the dry rot problem with my 1030's skirts (see the TCU for the write-up and pics). They suggested checking and re-sealing the door sill and the front window.
I didn't find any dry rot under the door sill, although I could see where water had been there. Sealed the wood and then put it all back together. No softness or problems in the cab over. I regularly check the front cupboards for any signs of mold indicating moisture. I have excessively caulked around the front window as well as the roof lights.
TC builders have gone away from the front windows because of the constant leaks. I don't like the enclosed feeling the new campers have, I like my window. Glad I keep my camper in a closed shop, I really believe that is the only thing that will keep any RV from deteriorating.
