Just got our 5'er back from winter storage and my wife pulled the bedding out of the wardrobe. The wardrobe is in a bedroom slideout. She noticed that the bedding as well as the carpet on the bottom of the slide were damp. No noticable water damage or marks on the ceiling or walls and I checked the outside of the slide, top and sides, and could not see any evidence of a crack which would have allowed moisture to leak in.
We had the 5'er stored at the dealer for the winter as they were doing some repairs/modifications. They would have had it in their heated work area to complete the mods and then back out in the Manitoba winter weather until we picked it up this spring. I will be keeping an eye on it as we prepare for our first trip later this month to see if any more moisture shows up after rainny days.
I am wondering if the moisture we noticed is as simple as condensation from the normal changes in temp during the winter and/or being in the shop and taking in moist warm air and then back out to the deepfreeze. Your opinions/experience would be appreciated. Its off warranty this June so if its a leak I would need to get it fixed before the warranty expires.
Thanks.
