Hey! New to the forum. Bought a 2011 29bh slingshot. Got a good deal but it needs some work.
The major issue is it has water damage on the slide of course. No evidence or water leakage from ceiling or walls.
First time I had slide open, the camper was tilted a little so water ran towards camper on slide. This caused water to come in from the slide roof/cabinets. On top of slide I noticed the seal was not bumped outward but still folded inward. I leveled camper and made sure seal was folded outward. Had a bad rain storm and no water! Yay!
Now with the slide out closed, after a decent rain I see water on the floor by microwave area. FYI the slide out contains the stove, cabinets, sink, and couch. After investigating, the plywood that sits right above the vinyl/plastic bottom of the slide is soaked and rotten. Where could the water be coming from? I don’t see any evidence of it leaking from the top down.
The plastic bottom seems to be holding the water in which is doing a number to the plywood.
I opened the slide out and felt under it and it was dry. Could it be coming in from behind bottom track and into the bottom of the slide out? It must be leaking lower because I don’t see any issues with the walls or ceiling, but I could be wrong?
I want to figure out the leak before trying to replace the plywood. It is soaked more by the microwave but The plywood is soaked all the way across the slide out.
Any thoughts on what to look for is greatly appreciated!
