This is a topic I have been meaning to bring up for a while now . Leaks or condensation ? I have noticed wetness around the base of the wall where it meet the dinette seat on a number of occasions. At first I thought it was a window leak . Then I thought it was coming down the fridg vent , Checked all the caulking and even put a hose to it , no leak . Then I tried glueing some foam sill seal , 8” high , around the bottom of the wall thinking it might be condensation. This helped but not enough . From some of the paperwork I had from original owner it was an early complaint to the dealer . This winter while stored outdoors I opened all the side windows and bath window about an inch . I’ll be darned , dry as a bone . Our weather goes from cold and dry , cold rain , snow , and everything in-between almost every other day . What are others finding ?
When we still lived in super wet and cold country of Kodiak, Alaska, I fought water at the joint between the wings and upper skin and like you never found a "smoking gun". Now that we live in the high desert arid country of central Washington State, even with rain or snow, we have not seen any water return. I did remove most of the reflectix from the tops of the wings because it was trapping in the moisture between the outer aluminum skin and saturating the wood wing. That was when I almost lost the camper due to wings going soft and the camper almost fell over. Now with the Stable-Lift and dry wings I fell confident that we will be using the C10 for a long time to come. Let me know if you find anything out!
