Found a leak in my 2012 183
Got to the campground last weekend and found the rear mattress was damp and there was water sitting in the channel between the white outer seal and inner edge that seals to the black seal. The deck was also damp with some water droplets. It had happened earlier that day as we had a huge rain storm. Took the mattress out and dried it out in the sun. I closed the bed back up to investigate closer and noticed that when closed, the outer white seal is completely crushed at the bottom, but barely touching at top sides and along top. From inside I could feel that the top black seal is also barely touching the bed door. Spoke to the dealer and I am to bring it in next week after we return from our Thanksgiving camping trip. He thinks the hinge may have been installed too close in at bottom and the door is binding and not closing properly. Will update this once he confirms the issue. Hopefully not a huge job, but at least it is warranty....
