It took a few months for us to chase down a leak in the garage. It was from a window, but after doing everything under the sun, I got mad and took the silly thing out. Well, the hole is cut a little too big for the window and they used 1/4 inch wide wx stripping. I found some wx stripping that was the same width as the window lip, set the window in place, sprayed expanding foam all the way around the window, then put the inside frame back on...no problems since...
May end up pulling all the interior frames and filling with expanding foam. Will used closed cell foam, as it is waterprrof.

This is why I love my moisture meter, it will find water penetration before it becomes visible and has saturated stuff.
I never leave home without it.

Another issue, though not a leak, when I was in the low double digits (11F) the inside of my bedroom slide wardrobes had enough condensation to get cloths wet. I just left the doors open after discovering the issue and it was better.
*Brand: DutchmenModel: Infinity 3850RLState: MainePosts: 61Schwintek water damageWe have finally realized (Dutchmen, Me, & RV repair facility) why my bedroom slide never really slid in up against the outside wall.
*WATER DAMAGE. This was created by the Schwintek bracket at the bottom corner. It was allowing rainwater to back in behind the bracket.
I Found the above on the Thor forum. Ive been in Gulf Shores Alabama for 2 months and noticed after all this rain we've had in the past few days corner is soaking wet. Dispite my extra efforts water is still coming in somewhere. Its on the very outer corner but its working its way inward which is not good. Ive sealed up all gear racks on the ends... facia... everything. I give up. Any suggestions, cant imagine where its coming from. Btw, I have toppers and have resealed everything up top as well!
Thanks

Same problem here on my 2013 V3950. Just got it back from the dealer having living room and bedroom slide floors replaced. DON'T PAY FOR THIS REPAIR!!! MAKE DUTCHMAN PAY! I had to breathe on my dealer pretty hard but they got Dutchman to pay.
Where do you get these moisture meters?? I am from Ottawa, Ont., Canada.
They are used in the lumber industry and home inspection business. I have purchased them online and from industrial supply houses over the years. I think even Home Depot may carry them now.
