First trip out this year... Rained... 2 windows leaked!
Hi,
We took our 2014 Red Hawk 26XS out of the RV shelter, first time this year. We went down close to Myrtle Beach SC for the week. We have had zero water leaks in this RV, so far. Thursday night, with all the rain we had, the rear window frame and the rear curb side window frame leaked a bunch of water. Water ran from under the window frames, down the wall, and to the mattrus, bedding, pillows, and wood subfloor under the mattrus.
I waited for the rain to stop for a bit, then cleaned and ran a nice bead of 30 minute, 100% Silicone around the frame where it would meet the outer wall. I didn't get the top, but I did get the sides and bottom. It started to rain before I got to the top.
Still it leaked, same place, both windows. We loaded up and drove home a day early.
Don't know what to do other than finish cleaning around window frames and applying a nice bead around the frames.
My wife said she was tired of the Jayco and wanted to sell it. I am not happy with it, but know that this is all normal stuff when dealing with either an RV or a boat. Lots of maintenance and fixing things. I must admit, our 30' Airstream Land Yacht motor home we had for 11 years never had these problems, but we kept it clean and dealer maintained.
