Well, somewhere down the line we developed a leak in the basement. After a rain sometimes there would be a puddle on the basement floor. We have, like everyone else, tons of stuff in the basement; but we did have a large piece of carpet that wicked most of it and we weren't aware of it until the last few trips we made. We have recently emptied the basement before taking it off to service in January.
Today, we had a pretty substantial amount of rain that hit the curb side door that we suspected. Upon looking closer, it looks like it is leaking in from the Bauer key latches installed in August. We checked the toolbox door also and it was flooded and had leaked into the basement from behind the wall. We haven't checked all the doors yet, and this is still in speculation stage; but we will be making sure to silicone the perimeter of the the lock latches as a preventative measure and see if our leak problem disappears.
Anyone else had mysterious leaks show up?
We had a leak that only showed up during heavy rains.
Found it was the Electrical Outlet on the side between the entry door and the storage compartment.
The outlet had a plastic cover that did no seal very well against the side of our coach, replaced the cover with a metal cover.
Removed the plastic cover, cleaned the area of debris and installed the new metal cover and sealed it.
The new metal fits tight and flush to the side of our coach, no more water puddles or leaks.
It's probably not your issue but we had water in the basement and the GFI wouldn't reset, it was caused by a water leak from the piping under the bathroom sink running down the piping and into the electrical outlet in the basement before wetting the basement floor both behind and in front of the basement wall.
A simple loose connection, tightened it and dried out the outlet.
Door seals on our 2014...
I tightened the door locks to make it tighter for the short term fix. ALL of our baggage doors are leaking. I'll be purchasing larger seals come spring. :angry:
I don't know why RW doesn't seal around the lock housing. When I took delivery this summer the first thing I did was to caulk all the exterior door seems and door locks. I also found that they didn't seal around the lights and the electrical outlets. I think that in their mind they think that if there is a gasket behind it then caulking is not needed. But that is not the case. Anything that is mounted to the rig needs to be sealed with the same sealer that they use @ the factory. Redwood's heart is in the right place! I just think they need some help from people that are not working at the factory. People that live in the rigs that they build. Some times a second pair of eyes make a big difference.
Mine has been leaking on both sides of the basement. I noticed it when I had it in for inspection and the service manager thought the light coat of sealant around baggage doors might need to be re-caulked. I'll try that when the temp gets a little higher in a few weeks.
