Here comes trouble! So we quickly water tested this thing last week. There was no snow on the camper, not much on the ground and it was relatively warm out. Andy put a hose on the roof and let it run over a bunch of different spots for a little while. Well, i guess we have a slow leak (or two), along the top edge where the molding strip is that holds down the roof.
What was happening is that we taped and put a tarp all around the open wheel well and fridge vent in the anticipation of the snow storm we were getting. Love New England....Anyway, we got about a foot of heavy wet snow over the course of a day. The following day Andy realized that a small corner of the new wood was wet by the fridge vent in the wall. So we (not me), took one piece of the roof strip/molding off and guess what? There was no putty tape where there was supposed to be, shocked?? Were not, just really bummed out.
So now the new plan is to pull the roof material up and replace any wet/rotten wood and put a whole new roof on with all new sealant and putty, where applicable. :)
