This is an informative warning to anyone who has this specific brand and line TT. We purchased ours new 6 months ago and during our first trip driving in the rain I noticed water in the front storage and the master bed / mattress was soaked. As I knew this would be a big issue and did not trust any dealer to try and fix under warranty, I decided to remove the entire front wall interior of the master bedroom myself. I don't have time or patience to complain to the manufacturer, going back and forth in emails, calls, etc. I am just not that type of guy. Maybe 20 years from now I might, but as I have the know how to fix myself, I wanted to know what the problem is.
Everything was soaked. Insulation, framing, etc. So, after having a friend spray down the front with a hose ( using the fan pattern to mimic the spray you would get from driving) all 3 seams from the corrugated sided instantly leaked, and leaked bad.
From the outside I installed a foam backer rod through the seem and stuffed it in with a plastic scraper. I then installed a second backer rod just because. Finally, I chose to seal with a high quality 100% silicon caulking. Then I proceeded in sealing the entire end channel from top to bottom.
Once the caulking set, I tested again for a long time and even used the stream function on my hose spayed, nothing leaked.
So, if you have this specific TT, I would ensure yours is water tight, or at least pay attention when you drive in rain, if you smell mold as time goes on, this is your problem. I believe mine was built missing some type of gasket in the seams as these TTs with a corrugated fronts have been around for years. Next TT will have a fiberglass cap for sure.
