Bad news today. To get at bottom outer 2x3 rearward of the drivers side plastic wheel tub "well-tub in my case!", I undid 4 screws holding up the bottom trim piece and in behind that pulled some more swear-worthy staples, dropped the lag screws which held the 2x3 in place, and peeled back the moisture barrier. Horrors! It had done its job well, only backwards. It was holding it IN, like a bathtub does! I'm wondering if sloshing noises were ever heard around corners when on the road travelling to campsites! The yellow batting had younger versions of the previous mycelium that I had found earlier. White ickies were everywhere over and under the batting and sliming up all the underfloor lumber which was soggy and piecemeal when grabbed. Now I'm at the marker light corner and its screws were attached to air! The wood looks just like soggy charcoal, and by the way it seems, is headed to the other side of trailer. People always say "check your tail lights etc." but now I wish I hadn't! It appears that any tilt, whenever, just sent the water to a new address underfoot beneath the lino'd OSB (which loves H2O). I haven't pulled the sink or its cabinets yet, hoping rot hasn't made it that far inland or to bathtub supports. I now know what "opening a can of worms" signifies, unfortunately! As well I am now a "rot" hound instead of a rock hound! Oh well...though I would much rather find gold than mold any day! I shall keep plugging away at this till I find the end, eh, so happy trails and safe trips! P.T. CEO Rot-Get ...kidding !!!
