Hi all. I own a 2012 31BHPR. I have noticed the storage compartment door in the front of the camper (the one on the same side as the camper main door) is leaking. When I lift the door to access the storage, I can see the inside of the door is getting "wavy". When I open the door, there is usually water sitting inside of the lip that the door seals against.
I have sealed all of the exposed edges with clear silicone with no positive results. I am considering mounting something like this:
Drip Cap
above the door to stop any water from running down the camper and entering the compartment.
The trailer is pulled very little as it sits in a seasonal spot, so spray from towing is not an issue.
2 questions:
1) I the trailer is stored about an hour away from me. I do not know the dimensions of the door....does anyone have close, quick access to the 2012 31bhpr to get a quick measurement of the total length of the compartment opening? I want to make sure I get the right length of drip edge. Just thought I would ask here before driving out to measure.
2) Does this seem like a good idea to anyone? Obviously, it should not leak and there is some type of seal issue. My only concern is whether or not the storage compartment door will be able to be stowed in the open position if the drip edge is too wide. For $15, it is a chance I believe I am willing to take.
