Re: [VAL] Safari Leaks



John
I guess it's a rear bath and you have the rear compartment door just below 
the window? Water leaks are hard to find because of the seams. Sometimes 
it's better to get a few tubes of Vulcum and a syringe and get at re-sealing 
them. A syringe works will because you can run a nice thin bead.
Any way. In the middle of the ceiling you have a 14x14 vent? Sometimes the 
vent will have a crack in it and that will leak straight down on the floor. 
Also along the rear you should have a trim piece that's about 3/4 to 1 inch 
wide running across the bottom below the access door. That will sometimes 
leak. The skin runs under it and then kind of wraps under. The sealant under 
there eventually gives out and will leak and you don't really notice it 
until the floor inside gets wet, it just kind of starts wicking the water 
in.

Have fun.
