THOR #8351
We got the Axis back and she is better than factory new. Both walls up front under the windows were pretty much destroyed. Both side front windows had to be pulled and replaced as the original seals were not that great. The main problem ended up being in the transition cap. This is where the front cap meets the sides of the RV. The fiberglass overlaps and creates a 1/8" difference where it meets the window seal. The water was getting in there and then going into the top of the window and then followed around the edge of the window and below. There was never water coming inside, but over time, the walls just got worse and worse. There were 4 small screws and no caulk on that transition. My tech sealed it up and replaced with 6 larger screws. After 12 inches of rain she was dry and then the walls replaced. Here are some pics before the actual final finish. Still extremely happy with the purchase!!!
