Livinlite roof alert?
We developed a problem with the roof on our model 10.0 Livinlite TC that I thought I would pass along. This might be unique to our rig, but you never know.
When we were camping last weekend over the 4th of July (AKA The Never ending Rain Weekend), we found water leaking into the bottom back corner of the wetbath. It was not from the plumbing system, but was from all the rain. So somehow rain water was getting in between the outside wall and the inside wall, dripping down to the bottom and coming in through a small hole in the caulking behind the toilet.
I finally got up on the roof yesterday and discovered a small hole in the aluminum roofing material. This hole is located at the far back corner of the TC, driver's side. There appears to be something under the aluminum roofing that is causing a small bump up into the roof. This has now worn a small hole in the roofing, thus allowing the rain water to enter. We are talking about a very small hole, but it is located where water collects before being able to make it over the caulking on the edge and off the roof.
It will be an easy fix with some Eternabond tape and a small piece of extra aluminum I have. I am adding the extra piece of aluminum just to make it harder for whatever it is from also rubbing through the tape.
Just wanted to alert other Livinlite owners, and I still LOVE my LivinLite TC's quality.
