Holes in Front Shell
Has anyone noticed a hole on each side of the back end of the front shell (Behind the awning case, on that side)? On our 2006 TM 2720SL, it looks like a fastener or rivet was pulled out of the shell, since the edges of the hole bend toward the outside of the shell.
I wonder why these two holes are there and whether they need to be caulked, to prevent leakage. Any ideas?
Thanks for your comments, in advance.

They are drain holes to let any water escape that might get past the roof seam seals.

Little Holes
Oh oh. If your right I'm in deep yogurt,. I just sealed them off. I'll check it out to-morrow, then I'll dig out the sealant. I'm glad this came up.
Thanks

Thanks for your help
Yikes!!
Sometimes, procrastination is a GOOD thing! I didn't get to them last week and was just about to get the tube of sealant and plug them up. Y'all have saved me having to un-plug the drain holes.

It's Official
Factory rep. (Ed Lytle) says those two holes are called "weep holes" and are NOT to be plugged. Thanks to the rest of you that took the time to tell the rest of us about this.

From what I have read you need to keep those weep holes open or you can develop problems. Maybe you can remove the plugs. What did you plug them with?
