Avion truck campers - Hundreds of photos
Without going into too much painful detail, we had a mishap several week-ends ago. While working with sand bag crews on the Mississippi River, the truck and camper fell into the flood waters as a road...

Ticki2,69, now that the panels are riveted together, they are(were) easily removable as one piece. I had them hung with clecos for a while and took them on and off a few times. Before final riviting, I did apply some spray foam to the perimeter of the front window, bathroom window and entrance door behind the end caps. I did not foam fill the rest cause I didn't want to have to shave it into a compound curve for the end caps to fit. I know I didn't seal the bottom channel where the wood is inserted so that is working against me. I agree that a thin coat of foam on the backside of the caps would likely do the most good with minimal risk. Maybe on the next go round.
The weather was humid/rainy but not windy nor terribly cold(40F) when I first noticed the condensation issue. Both the front and rear caps showed equal moisture coverage.
We spent the last two nights at Promised Land SP here in PA and the end caps stayed dry the entire time. The weather was a little drier but it got down to 25F last night, wind cranking non-stop and my soaked wetsuit hanging in the shower, dripping. As a control measure, I kept the side windows closed and the roof vents open about 1/2" like the first trip.
Somehow we were able to keep away from the dew point entirely?
67 The Zolatone should do it too, that was the only coating offered before the vinyl correct? Im just trying to keep the current look of the end caps if possible. Ill resend my email also.
D1 I think even moisture distribution is the best we can hope for in a camper, especially one sealed as well as I suspect the Argo will be. As long as it has nowhere to condense, it can be easily vented to the outside. I should have used tape on the ribs, bet that makes a big difference.
