HR leak update

[jokers99]

Went in for the second time for leak (wet spot in drivers feet area) First time sat. dish resealed. Still leaking. This time at a different dealer they found "front cap to roof transition leaking at roadside wall transition screw cover." Hope that will be it but I'll believes it when I sees it. Also of interest, we had drops dripping from the black seal between the windshield and curtain, it turned out to be condensation. They pulled the t.v. out and it was all wet behind it. We put on some vent covers and will be keeping the windows cracked more. It seems two people fulltiming in these things give off a gallon of water a day. Yikes!

Unfortunately, the only real way to see if the problem is corrected is rain. Which in the Northwest it should only be a matter of time. Can't wait to leave next month to warmer/dryer climes. If anything the dryer weather should help us to dry out!!!!!!

Yup, know all about that condensation 'leak' over the windshield. We had done some laundry on a cold damp day, and hung the clothes out in the coach to finish air-drying. Naturally the humidity shot right up there to 100% and everything started looking foggy. There was still enough moisture under the cap that I didn't make the connection til the second time it happened, and I'd already drove myself nuts imagining this obviously gaping hole in the front-roof.


Good luck with the other leak. They can be pesky.

First, Welcome to IRV2..
Second, where are you in the Northwest??? If at camp Monaco, you just may be able to meet MonacoMama aka "The Toll Troll"
She's still there at Diamond Hills...

I had the same experience with the overhead drip. Yup as you have discovered turned out to be condensation and not a windshield leak as I suspected.Easy clean up with a rag...phew

We are currently in Vancouver, WA., a few of hours from camp Monaco. Drying up the condensation was not a very easy task, removing the tv to hand dry as much as could be reached and turning on all sources of heat to move air threw the cap area. So far no drips from the cap/window areas, with the installation of the vent covers we are keeping the vents partially open and have at least four windows ajar, no condensation overnight. Can't wait to head south next month, have a chance to fully dry out. Next test will probably be tomorrow, forecaster says possible rain, hopefully the main leak was fixed.
