Here a leak, there a leak

Sing it with me now!  

Here a leak, there a leak, everywhere a leak, leak. Well, only two known ones, but that is more than enough for me. 

They're both small seepages, but water in RV walls is bad news. We discovered the first leak in Anchorage - water was seeping into the edge of wardrobe slide through the cracked silicone seal. Not a difficult fix, but the slide really should be dried out completely before resealing the seams. The weather, our location, and our current travel plans haven't exactly been conducive to getting that done.

We've been dealing with this leak by keeping the slide in as much as possible. Okay for the short term, but annoying in the long.  

The second leak appeared during our soggy trip to Seward. The right side kids toy compartment was damp on the wall. This one stumped me for awhile since the other side was completely dry  and there were no noticeable breaks in the seal in that area (the very front of the trailer where the kids' bedroom is has two narrow, deep compartments that we use for toys & books - they are right against the nose of the trailer). Several days later, in Skagway, I noticed that the overhang on that side of the trailer has come loose on the right hand side, right near the hitch. A board or something has come loose - not dangerously so, but enough to let cold air into the area & create condensation in the compartment. 

While this leak is causing less trouble, it is actually more troublesome, as it means the trailer needs to go into the shop to be investigated closer. We need to plan a longer stop in a more commercial center to deal with the leaks as well as some other maintenance on the trailer. We will have that soon - either Prince George in a few days, or for sure in a week or so when we arrive in Penticton area for a few weeks.  But, the dealerships are plenty busy right now with people winterizing their units.  I'm not sure we won't have to give up our home for a couple days in order to get the fixes done properly...

Ah, the joys of living in a moving home!
