I knew you couldn't resist digging into that floor.. I know the feeling. My floor was so rotten I just peeled osb off and cut nail flush with a die grinder.
Water damage is the worst and you never know where it's gonna come from next..
Yeah. Like a crackhead. I just couldn’t resist digging in to find the root. I just kept looking at it. Contemplating the worst.
Then I started to peel back that carpet. Now. Keep in mind. My dehumidifier has been running for a week and had barely any water in it. I saw that first patch of mold under where the water tank was sitting on top of the carpet. I was taken aback.
I stepped back infuriated and disgusted about the whole consent of improper flashing of the slide as well as placing water components directly on top of carpet and foam/sponge.
I had to walk away for about 5 minutes to run the process and the scope of the job that was ahead of me.
Literally the next day after tearing all of the carpet out of the entire bedroom, the day prior, the table top dehumidifier had to be emptied as it was full from just 24 hours of that soggy OSB being exposed. Rot! Rot! Rot!
I formulated a plan, and started to tear s#|t out! Knowing that it would be better in the end.

Its been a moment since my last post, but the water intrusion damage repairs were completed, and then I had to dive right into installing some new components onto my RZR for my trip. Right after that, I left for Colorado and Utah for a much needed vacation after two years of not getting one.
Instead of posting a metric S#!t ton of photos and descriptions, I ended up setting up my GoPro and put it on a 10 second time lapse which captured over 90,000 ( Ninety Thousand) photos of the entire repair. Unfortunately I didn't think to do this when I first tore into it which would have made a complete repair video. But at the time I was too pissed off and trying move as fast as possible in the limited time that I had. The other issue is that the last stretch of time lapse photos from the point I finished the plumbing and was about to start electrical as well as carpentry finishing were lost in transfer somehow.
So I supplemented the ending with still photos that I still took using my cell phone. If anyone has any questions on how to do any of the work, or what I did specifically to relocate electrical and plumbing to be more accessible and serviceable without having to completely disassemble the bed, send me a PM and I can call you or answer on this forum.
I chose not to add any music since Youtube will screw with your video due to copyright issues. So I just left it without sound. You can break out your cellphone and play your own soundtrack.

Agreed; Moe, Larry and Curly built my coach. I picked up my new 2015 DX3-37RB on May 8th, 2014. It's been back to the factory at least a half dozen times since and, I'd bet money that a thorough and proper final quality check was NEVER performed. On one of those times, I had a supervisor tell me that my use of pink RV antifreeze to winterize the coach was the cause of the water leak in the residential refrigerator. I got to speak with Gary Bunzer this past March at the FMCA Conference in Perry, GA. I asked Gary if he'd ever heard of such a thing (he hadn't).

If you don't mind sharing your problems with your 2015.. since I have the exact same unit, I may learn something. Thanks

I do know a dealer that says not to use specific antifreeze because something eats rubber seals. I think he said the alcohol in the antifreeze eats the seals....but not 100% sure. I think it was Performance RV, maybe we can ask jason at the rally.
So while Gary might not have heard that....there is some rumor or theory out there.

I'm of the opinion all fridge ice makers belong in the trash. They're just a problem waiting to happen. This after I just had to rip up and replace 50 sq ft of wood flooring at home because of an ice maker leak. Those flimsy plastic tubes are just a problem waiting to happen. The valve on my DX3 was never turned on and I dont think it ever will be.

Those ice balls are sweet, they would match my grille perfectly.
Whomever wants to drop these off at my site next month will be thanked.
In all seriousness, we have never and will never turn the water on to our ice maker for the reasons above ^^^^^^^. I buy a bag of ice and put it in the ice tray, much easier and safer.
