No, I'm not a closet forum poster, but Jesus...
This coach is only a few months old (I've had it less than a week), todays find were these leaky turds -
Again, the use of cheap, thin, water-leaking foam gaskets, and poor screw placement is killin' me (and our coaches - no wonder they delaminate so quickly).
The 2 top holes were stripped. I installed the entire housing a 1/4 inch higher, after drilling 4 new holes.
Gaps between 30 amp plug-in, and coaxial cable housings were ridiculous. Sure enough, the 8 retaining screws were rusted like the rear lenses (see rear lense leak repair thead), and all of the inside plywood was soaking wet! Had to repair these via the rear lense attack plan. Spent the whole day sealing anything remotely resembling a hole.
Why hasn't there been a class-action on these RV makers to force them to adhere to at-least a semblance of quality control?
Here are the pics. Again, cleaned the area with 70% ISO, used 3/4 inch extra thick butyl tape, replace with s/s screws, add in a toothpick to trim and your golden. Will last 50 years.
Tomorrow's project is curing. Had to use marine sealant to take up a 1/4 inch gap on the outside AC receptacle outlet housing to wall. More soaking wet wood and poor design/quality "gasketing".
