Winter Water Damage

That sounds miserable....I have found it to be very important to check on my rv at least once a month while in storage. I had mice take up residence for the winter.

looks like it will be fun :) No mice so that's good at least.

Holy hell. Check line every week kofe

I'm sorry.

If it's any consolation (probably not) we keep ours at our home and I walked out to check it almost weekly. I never noticed a thing until my bathroom ceiling bubbled. THAT'S when we found the skylight damage.

Skylights. Bah! I'd rather they skip it and I'll turn on the light to shower.

Hope yours (and mine) aren't too bad.

This has always been one of my worst fears - to find a leak had occurred while in storage - it can happen to any of us!
I wish you the best of luck.

that sucks I to dread the day I open mine up after the winter to find it had leaked. I to have the skylight and I to don't like it but if not there I could not stand up in the shower so i guess i see why they put them in but still I can see it as a week point and ill have to keep my eye on it closely. I hope its not a big big fix as its camping time not fixing time good luck

Just something to consider for winter storage...our local fairgrounds rent winter storage in their pole barns. I can leave mine there for 6 months and it only costs $1/ft/month. The only problem is if yours isn't in the front you can't get it out until March. He parks them in there so tight you can't even get the door open once it's park. They get a lot of bird poo on them, but I'll take that over freeze/thaw damage.

I think I may be covered by insurance, I had an adjuster over today and he thought it would be covered. I have my fingers crossed. I think replacing the roof and floor will cost a lot, and I have to assume that the one wall got really wet as well.

Sorry to hear about this....not a good way to start a fun summer. I would strongly suggest you think about investing in a cover for winter storage. Hope they can get this fixed and get you out there ASAP. And thank goodness for insurance.

Ours is here at home, after a major rain storm we always go out and do a cursory check inside. Found a roof vent had cracked one time we walked in and quickly used Duct-tape to fix it until I could purchase a new one.

A friend of mine buys a "new Blue Tarp" every year to cover his during winter so he doesn't have a surprise in the spring.
