We have a 2001 Dutchmen that we closed it up for the past winter and our first trip this season to the camper, we found our floor had completely rotted thru. We had no signs of water damage except we noticed a musty smell the prior season and thought it was just from being closed up in the hot sun. After we found the hole in the floor, we put a hose on the outside to check the slide seals and found water running down the wall on the inside. There was no sign of water damage on the walls until this past trip, the bottom edge shows a little mold.
We ripped up the vinyl and it looks like we can patch in new plywood. We also called our insurance and they took it to a dealer who wants over $7k to fix it. We still have to hear from the ins. and it's been since 6/7.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Can see a photo of the water damage in the Photo Gallery under Travel Trailer / Standard.
Thanks.
