Leak inside Pass Through storage
We own a 2016 Jayco 27 DSRL and live in the Pacific Northwest where rain rules the day.
On a recent camping trip, I discovered the floor was wet and some of the paneling was swelling due to moisture inside the pass thru compartment. No water leaks were noticed above the floor, just at the seam between the paneling and the compartment floor. Theorizing that the leak had to be coming from underneath especially after driving 100mi+ on wet roads. I noticed a long piece of rubber strip between the diamond plate front guard and the plastic moisture barrier underneath. With the advise of a friend, I purchased some Flex Seal and gave it a good spray. T was able to remove a portion of a wall that was wet on the inside just forward of the access doors. This turned out to be just a piece of paneling screwed down to hide a louse wiring job done during construction. The weather let up for a few days so I left the doors open and dried out the compartment. Haven't had a chance to get her out on a rainy day since, but was curious if anyone else has experienced this. Of course I'm now out of warrantee!
BTW, I recently redressed the louse wiring job they did and gave myself about 1 sq ft of additional storage!
