Roof Leaks Fixed
Spent a couple of days last week at CoachCraft by MacDonald searching for some roof leaks. John Boy Hughes cranked up his low tech "rednek engineered" pressurizer. A plyboard box that fits in a window, a sheet plastic "duct" and a heavy duty fan like the home rehab people use (i.e. Service Masters, ServePro, etc.) Tape over weep slots in the windows and other openings.

About 30 minutes to an hour of forcing air into my bird, then on the roof and around the tops of the sides with a Windex bottle of soapy water, I had more bubbles coming out of my coach than Lawrence Welk ever had on his program.

Some of the clearance lights were allowing water to enter, a few bolts on the goat rails and of all things, three roof plate seams.

Another couple of hours with a caulk gun, sealant and new bolts and a nice mini-monsoon common for this part of the world, the leaks were all gone.

My cost was right at $500.00. And a couple of free nights at the "Luxurious CoachCraft RV Resort".

Anybody got some leaks that you just can't get fixed, you might want to give CoachCraft a call:

706.562.0510

Could well be worth a trip to Columbus, GA.
