So I recently purchased this TT knowing there were small signs of water damage when I opened the compartment of the dinette set that shares a wall with the refridgerator that has the furnace installed below the fridge.
The signs of damage are low on the wood, starting at the corner of the dinette near the outside wall tapering off as it extends towards the end of the dinnette beyond the front of the fridge. I removed the lower wood grill below the fridge to trouble shoot and noticed that there are NO signs of water leaking down the walls from above!
Two possible sources of water entry?
There is a white plastic square vent that is removable for access the rear of the fridge, is this know to leak? (disclaimer- I originally thought that the original leak was caused by the brittle plastic drain hose that attached to the fridge, but I replaced it and checked the leak area and noticed the damage grew more inward- possibly because I stored the trailer unlevel?) The hose is extended outside the lowest part of the vent.
The second entry point :
Appears to be a chrome exhaust vent for furnace? Are these know to leak? Anyone had these type of problems?
