So on the FZ420, the side patio I noticed had a soft spot. But seems like multiple. And more like a raised area or bubble inside under the grip surface.
I found very little about this except from another forum. They said its water getting inside from the poor welds on the aluminum frame.
LCI makes it and it's like a smaller version of the rear ramp door. Even has a decal depicting the capacity of it as a ramp door.
Anyways, I seen some people argue to never leave it open in the rain. That's an issue and it was never designed to stay open for the elements. Seems like the whole point of the ramp doors to become a patio is to leave them open while you camp. No matter the weather. Be kind of a chore to open and close each time you leave the RV or when it rains.
Also I noticed that when you leave it closed for a period of time and go to open it, there is water that runs out from the prior rainfall. The water is brown. Guessing this is from dirt and the seals on the patio are not doing their job?
I mean at RV is supposed to be built to be outside all its life. Unless you have the luxury of a big garage for it and seldom use it.
Anyone else with same issue or experience??
