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.
