I realized that what I thought was a small water leak is actually a bigger issue, it looks like the upper sleeping compartment on my class c took a bit of a bump at some point. There wasn't much damage at all from the evidence but just enough to allow water access to the wood underneath the siding. This RV is new to me and I have it indoors for the time being so I took the edging off to get to the affected area which I now have cleaned out and am letting dry...much of the wood was completely saturated, pulled that all out and am allowing the rest to dry. So here are my issues:
1. I will now have some voids in there where I pulled the rotted wood out. Fix--I am planning on affixing some new wood into the void with some insulation too.
2. The wood that I was unable to remove is not in good shape. Fix- Fill wood with an epoxy.
3. Once inside the siding is taken care of I will then reseal the top cap edge piece with exterior silicone, put in the screws, and good to go....in theory.
Wondering if this all sounds reasonable?
thanks,
Zach
