How to check if there is water infiltration?
HI, I have searched numerous sites, forums, Youtube... can't find it. Planning to inspect a pop-up tent trailer before buying it. I have a checklist of things to check. But I need to know how to check for water infiltration on the trailer itself, not the roof. One pop-up that I visited had a small soft spot on the floor, at the foot of the rear bed bunk. I would understand such a thing at the front bunk bed, when driving in the rain. But the rear? How can I check that water does not seep in? Can you point me to a good online resource for help? Thanks! MarcHow to check if there is water infiltration?

Roof Replacement
My roof has water damage. While stored beside my house, some water has slowing leaked into the roof over time. Damage seems minor, except for the interior plastic that is glued to the ceiling. This plastic has peeled over time. I am wondering if I will have to replace the whole roof. I have never found the leak, and at one point I had the whole roof re-caulked by an RV dealer/repair. I have camped in some pretty serious rainstorms with no sign of any leaks, but when stored over winter, water gets in just enough to loosen the interior. Any suggestions or advice?best pop-up camper with toy hauler area?
Hi, We are a family of 6 (2 adults and 4 young children), and looking at a pop-up camper that can also help haul our bikes, etc. Question for this forum related which make/models folks feel are best for usability/reliability. In my brief research, I saw the following seem to be popular: 1. Coachmen V-Trec V3 2. Rockwood Extreme Sports Package 232ESP Any feedback is welcome and appreciated. Brian
Crank style Roof lift system requires physical assistance
Recently purchased previously owned 2005 Jayco Jay Series model 1206 . Have encountered most recent issue of when cranking roof/top up one corner seems to bind and requires physical human assistance to go up. We encountered the same issue with closing it down. It took all my 230# husbands weight to get it to close (on the same corner). We just retired and aren’t as physically capable as when we were young! The owners manual indicates it has 1 cable on the corner of the cranking mechanism & to be sure not to over tighten. That cable is not in place & is not visible. In a video I saw a man manually tightening and loosing bolts to adjust 4 cables inside what appears to be the wooden “step” inside at the end of the camper bed. There is no access to this area on our camper. We have been trying to learn this cute little camper at home before we take it out. This is one of 3-4 issues we’ve encountered. The others are fixed and we’re not cheap. If anyone has any suggestions we are happy to hear them! Also, if you have any idea if one or 4 cables?? Any idea of cost for a professional to repair? Thank you for any and all help! Theresa & Jim
