Default Leaks In Your Elkmont

Check out the website www.rvleaks.com - SealTech Manufacturing. They have service centers all over the country. Their device pressurizes the inside of the Elkmont and leaks are immediately evident on the outside as bubbles in the surfectant they apply to all outside seams (same concept as checking for propane leaks). The cost to soap the outside of the trailer and pressurize is $250 + 110/hr. to seal any leaks found (costs in other parts of the country should be lower). We're hoping TM will cover this. Nevertheless, once done we'll have our Elkmont checked once a year.

"knock-on-wood", since Trailmanor repaired our roof last fall we've had no leaks in Florida, despite some heavy rainfall.

The true test though will be after putting another 10K miles on it, as I'm convinced that the more the trailer bounces around the greater the chances of leaks developing.

That's interesting technology they have.

Default Which is exactly why...

...we plan to do the test annually if it works as we hope.

Without being experts, we think TMs have a distinct advantage over other trailers/RVs with traditional construction with respect to prevalence toward leaks. TMs all foam between aluminum construction seems not nearly as likely to leak as trailers/RVs with fiberglass/wood walls and floors. With the exception of the Elkmont, leak issues in the folding line rarely post here.
