Cabover leaks - Would This Work

Yes, I've had leaks. Yes, I can check for them very quickly.

From your profile it looks like you have a Winnebago Class C?

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.

BTW .... what leaks have you had in your Winnie? Now you have my attention. 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.

I do have a 2000 Winnebago Minnie Winnie. I understand about the styrofoam in the walls, but I do have wood (have not seen any aluminum). When I had the massive leak in 2012, just after purchase, so much water was in the styrofoam on the cabove bed that I had to remove the front portion and I have left it removed so that it is easier to check for leaks. With that section open and being able to see the side framework, water appears to be coming down the side walls and underneath the side wood framing. Sometimes it comes from the right and sometimes the drivers side. I've covered the cabover during rains and occasionally will still get leaks. With the motorhome level, I don't see how water could travel so far. And where could it be travelling from? All thought is appreciated! THANKS!
