RV Water Damage can be potentially fatal to your camper.

Often
creeping in undetected, through small holes in the sealant or other
areas of the RV, without any major visible damage inside, water can
completely rot the inside of your camper with little notice.

Here’s how to inspect:

- Is there visible delamination?

Fully inspect 5th wheel campers for delamination.

This is often a sign that water may be loosening the glue holding the laminate on.

As well, it provides a place for water to enter the RV.

If you find delamination occurring, quickly have the area behind it inspected and the lamination repaired

-
THOROUGHLY check every inch that is “cut out” of the body – this
includes vents, windows, doors, any system attached to the roof -
anything that is cut from the main body.

One of the main causes of rv water damage is water coming in through these seals.

Over time, all seals wear and crack. It’s important to inspect them regularly and re-seal at the fist sign of aging on 5th wheel campers.

- Inspect all nooks and crannies

Inside 5th wheel campers, it’s important to inspect every nook and cranny.

Focus on looking for soft spots, discoloration, or wrinkling in the interior.

Look
and feel around any areas that are attached to something that is
mounted on the exterior or cut away from the camper – this can include
windows, doors, air conditioning systems, antennas, showers, and more -
these are the likely places for water to show if it starts into your
motorhome.

Inspect the tops of cupboards and closets, and
storage closets – these are areas that aren’t constantly visible, and
will help you ensure that they’re being checked for signs of rv water damage.

Overall,
keeping your trailer free from water damage greatly extends the life of
your investment – it will help the resale value, as well ensure that
you get twice as much life out of your unit.
