We just picked up our WC850. Drove in a rainstorm and found water all over the carpet on the step (by the window to the over cap area). We were told it's a common problem for all truck campers though.

No kidding? They actually said that?

Congrats on the new camper :) any pics? I also find that very strange your dealer would tell you that. If that is the case Northwood should put a warning sticker "may leak" on the window. Matt Turly is the warranty guy for Northwood email him and see what he says. matt.turley@northwoodmail.com. Did they offer a fix? I actually removed mine completly and use an inner tube to create a weather tight seal and it provides access for the kids to use the bathroom.

Thanks, Nolan, for the contact info for Matt Turly. And yes, pictures will be up soon. :)

The water leaks we got were actually from the vents on the window frame, not the seal. The seal itself should be fine as far as we can see. We actually emailed MelloMike about this issue while we were still on the road and he told us the leaks were caused by a vacuum inside the camper and can be solved by cracking a vent or window while driving. We haven't tried it yet since the rain stopped.

Wish we didn't have that window at all. We get a lot of rain here on the island and I would hate to have to deal with the issue every time it happens.
