air leaks up front

Has anyone gone upfront in the gen compartment and sealed air leaks coming in from openings, I was under today and noticed possible culprits and filled them with spray foam to fill voids. Does anyone know any areas on their own that may have been missed, that I can touch up THX in advance

On my TS I sealed up lots of air and water leaks, the biggest ones were the basement compartments and the angle iron frames. I had a couple of compartments that were wet after driving through rain so I went over the entire coach with spray foam. A can a black spray paint after the foam dries will make it look factory. Check where any plumbing or electrical lines enter the coach, most of mine were at the rear and the basement entertainment area. I will be going over the Anthem when I get it as well. I saw a few small spots when I was doing my PDI.

Mine looks to be well sealed from the factory and my basement has stayed bone dry. Haven't noticed any air leaks either, i either got lucky or else I am missing something.

You probably missed being built at 30 below zero I'll be the foam had a hard time flowing out of the gun and the spots I noticed were small.

Mine was built same time as yours Chuck, and driven through a snow storm. No leaks in the basement (although the temps were only in the single digits).

It couldn't have been built at the same time, yours is a year older The spots I saw were VERY small where pipes came up into the MH and if I look closer they may very well be sealed up inside the floor. Just made mention of it and a joke of what Marc may have missed.

It was the TS that had the basement leaks and if anybody experiences it with an Entegra, or any MH it is an easy fix and does happen. I have had a piece of basement foam fall out when the MH was 5 years old that cause a compartment to be damp....easy fix and it can happen as MH's age and get a few miles on them.

I was concentrating on the front as my coach door has a whistle and some extra road noise sounds as if its at the door handle and or hinges any ideas where to look would be very useful.
