Mike and Linda Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 Our 2009 36 TKSB4 is leaking when we experience the Houston Texas style thunderstorms. The leak shows up right under the hatch on the front of the coach, the hatch just to the left of the battery/hydraulic cavity behind the pin. We have caulked about everything on the front of the coach but are still getting wet. The wardrobe area is dry, the area under the floor safe is dry and the wall under the right forward scare light is dry. We have talked with Ed Fry at DRV and have caulked all of the place he suggested but still have the issue. Anyone out there have an issue similar to this?

GlennWest Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 Mine leaked same. Never did fix it. Tried everything I and DRV could think of. Got rid of it. 2003 Teton Grand Freedom towed with 2006 Freightliner Century 120 across the beautiful USA welding pipe.https://photos.app.goo.gl/O32ZjgzSzgK7LAyt1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirk W Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 Could it be that the rain is being driven into the opening of the hatch past the weather stripping when it is driven harder than typical? A problem of the hatch seal, rather than caulking? Good travelin !...............KirkFull-time 11+ years......

T.Gamo Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 I have read that some folks with other brands have over loaded the front of the trailer, which caused cracks in the neck area and that led to cracks in the walls and roof. I have not seen this or heard of this in a DRV but I guess its possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike and Linda Posted June 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Thanks for the thoughts on this leak. It does take a violent storm to get the leak to appear--we have had plenty of those in Houston lately. We are taking the unit back to the factory for some upgrades and changes so will let them work on the problem. I'm thinking I may have a slide seal that isn't holding up but I can't find it so if I had to work that issue I would rather be at the factory anyway.
