SidecarFlip

I know when I went shopping for a new TC 2 years ago, Everything that had 'wing's' or panniers or whatever you want to call them, I looked at carefully to make sure there was the absolute minimum number of seals in the box section and that the side Filon was continuous from the upper side to the bottom of the wings with no seam and over cover strip.
I have mud flaps too but that didn't stop the water, just slowed it down a bit. Was always careful about roof and side seam caulk but lax on the box section and I paid for that with rot issues but I sold the unit and yes, I was up front about it. The new owner (I know him personally), took both wings completely apart, replaced all the nasty stuff and resided the camper below the transition.
