2013 Leprechaun water leak problems
My wife and I bought a new 2013 Leprechaun 317SA that we like a lot except we have very bad water leak issue in it. The front cap on our unit, and apparently on a lot of 2013 Leprechauns, was mounted...

One of the things that came to me when all of this started is how much nicer it would be to have a coach without full body paint. Having full paint makes sealing seams and such things so much more difficult because you have to be concerned about boogering up the paint. Maybe its just coincidence but in the leak problem with the Leprechaun, I haven’t heard of any problems with unpainted coaches. I know with mine it appeared that sealant may have been either skipped or applied more sparingly than I noted on unpainted coaches. My guess is that liberally applied sealant would seep out on the paint. If I had it to do over and was buying another class C, I think I would opt for no body paint.
Isn’t it a shame that we have to be engineers in order to keep our brand new motorhomes dry? Wouldn’t you think that Coachmen would hop in and give us a clue as to how to fix this problem? But if they did that they would be admitting that a problem exists, and I don’t think that will happen any time soon. By the way, this coming Saturday will make 13 weeks my Leprechaun has been in the shop for this problem. I am at a loss to know what to do at this point.
And since it is Thanksgiving, I should stop complaining a minute and be thankful for something. I am thankful that Coachmen is using Azdel in the walls of my Leprechaun. Hopefully it will keep those walls from delaminating after being exposed to all the water.
