A122TH leaking
Hello Everyone, I have a '15 A122TH that has been a great addition to our camping experience. Last August though, after leaving the camper secured in transport mode in the hot sun of southern Colorado for ten days, I returned to find a lot of water damage inside. The back portion of the roof, which folds underneath of the front portion, had dropped and during a severe thunder storm allowed water to pour in and warp the particle board top on the cabinet, soak the mattress top and sleeping bags in the storage bin below.
Initially I thought perhaps that I hadn't clamped the roof down tight, although the clamps were in the same position as set on day one. When it came time to leave, I tightened the clamps to the max and headed for home. The camper has been to more than a dozen locations in Colorado and Wyoming over my two years of ownership without incident, until that big rain. Since last August, I can see an uneven gap in the rubber seal between the folds of the roof sections and have to be careful to raise the tongue in order to maintain an angle for runoff when parked. I covered the camper for the winter and now have time to dive into a fix before spring. I've tried using various devices like folded towels or noodles to raise the back roof section during transport and thus make the gap between the folded roof sections more secure, which initially doesn't appear to work to my satisfaction.
Any help or ideas is appreciated by this new member.
