The "nice thing" about leaks in one of their Class C rigs is there is not much to rot inside their walls ... only aluminum, solid foam insulation, and wires ... all of which don't "rot", per se. This means that if you have leaks inside the walls but don't see them probably not a lot is getting destroyed. I'm sure glad my Itasca Class C is also built that way.

Ours is a 2005 and I have replaced/added-to very, very little of it's chaulking anywhere because it all still "looks good" visually everywhee on it's roof and around it's windows. The main thing of have done is to modify it's forward facing cabover running lights so water can never get in it around them (and bleed down their wiring into the walls) when driving down the road in a blasting rainstorm. From the get-go those running lights looked like a disaster waiting to happen.
