Hole on Top Rail

[BradS7535]

So I washed my TM today and noticed a hole in the top corner cover on the driver's side (front shell). Wondering what it is for, or if I should shoot some caulk in it. Photo attached.

Pretty sure that is a "weep" hole.

For what? Not the A/C. That's on the under side of the street side near the front of the A/C unit. What could that possibly be a weep hole for? HOT AIR? For water running off the roof like a down spout? If that's
the case then your roof needs attention (but from the photos that looks hardly likely!).

BradS7535....
I am just guessing, but I think that either the last OWNER had something attached there or maybe they had to replace the radio antenna and used that hole to fish wires....just a guess....if it were me, I'd run the A/C when it got humid and see if anything comes out...if it didn't, I would fill that puppy up with some rigid spray in expanding foam and then put a piece of "Eternibond" tape over that to seal it up right.

Brad you might call the last OWNER/dealer and ask them about it first. Usually the name and address of the last OWNER is on the title. When you find out, would you please let us all know. Thanks

Tom

ps. congratulations Brad on becoming a new OWNER of a Trailmanor...and welcome to the OWNERS forum... the best $12 you can spend for the very BEST Travel Trailer...and unlike any other travel trailer on the market new or used, will save you lots of gas $$$$$...no other nice and roomy travel trailer can do that!

Mine has a weep hole also, unless a previous owner was traveling all over following TM's it is standard on many models over some years!
It has been discussed on here over the years too.....try searching weep holes!
You will find a pic from 2011 post, no Tom it is not for HOT AIR

Just checked mine and I too have this. In fact you probably have one on both sides of your TM in the same place. On mine one is just left of the awning.

Yep standard for sure at least for some years.


Brad I would not listen to Tom, I would not fill it, it has a function!

That, is what these are suppose to let out? Finally an answer. Usually when there is a hole in the wall it needs to be sealed up to keep the elements out , however in this case it's just the opposite? OK.. how come my 3124KS does NOT have these weep holes. Is there anyone else out there that has a 2003 TM (any model)? Does your 2003 TM have these weep holes in the wall? I would like to know...thank you very much!


So I'm wondering, was this something that was instigated in 2004? I'm going to ask the factory tomorrow and I'll let everyone know what I find out. Thank you Mike for providing this thread...it clears things up a bit. If I am suppose to have these in mine I'll have to get out the drill. We will see tomorrow if someone forgot my weep holes or not. As of now all I ever have to go on is my own TM.

Tom...who is still wondering where he called anyone "names" (like "hey Mr. XYZ@709, you're a jerk") or used profanity ( as in "I hate that %#&^*@!&$^$@ son of a @$&*$" )

I'd be careful there Tom, mjlaupp probably is not an (((OWNER))) and we all know how important that is ... to you.
