In the end several things could have been the culprit, my guess is it was a combination of all of them — the back window seal, the running light anchor screws, and a ding in fiberglass near the taillight. Once I had the kitchen window resealed and all the leaks in the back fixed I patched the floor in both spots with 5/8in marine grade plywood.</p> +<p>Plywood digression: quite a few people restoring RVs and trailers seem confused about marine grade plywood. It’s not that special, just expensive. Marine grade doesn’t mean it’s sealed or somehow better wood. Marine grade is a technical term for “not quite as shitty as Home Depot plywood”. All it means is that there’s no gaps in among the layers of ply. You still need to seal it. I used some industrial strength deck sealant on the bottom and several layers of paint on the topside.</p> +<p>Here’s the basic floor repair process: </p> +<figure class="picwide"> + <a itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/ImageObject" href="https://images.luxagraf.net/original/2017/1969-dodge-travco_2015-07-03_102525_tzu3EDK.jpg " title="view larger image"> + <img class="u-photo" itemprop="contentUrl" sizes="(max-width: 1439px) 100vw, (min-width: 1440px) 1440px" srcset="https://images.luxagraf.net/2017/1969-dodge-travco_2015-07-03_102525_tzu3EDK_picwide-med.jpg 1170w, https://images.luxagraf.net/2017/1969-dodge-travco_2015-07-03_102525_tzu3EDK_pic33.jpg 420w" alt="1969 Dodge Travco interior water damage photographed by luxagraf" data-jslghtbx="https://images.luxagraf.net/original/2017/1969-dodge-travco_2015-07-03_102525_tzu3EDK.jpg" data-jslghtbx-group="group" data-jslghtbx-caption="Identify damage."> + </a> +<figcaption>Identify damage.</figcaption> +</figure> + +<figure class="picwide"> + <a itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/ImageObject" href="https://images.luxagraf.net/original/2017/1969-dodge-travco_2015-07-10_095844.jpg " title="view larger image"> + <img class="u-photo" itemprop="contentUrl" sizes="(max-width: 1439px) 100vw, (min-width: 1440px) 1440px" srcset="https://images.luxagraf.net/2017/1969-dodge-travco_2015-07-10_095844_picwide-med.jpg 1170w, https://images.luxagraf.net/2017/1969-dodge-travco_2015-07-10_095844_pic33.jpg 420w" alt="1969 Dodge Travco interior water damage photographed by luxagraf" data-jslghtbx="https://images.luxagraf.net/original/2017/1969-dodge-travco_2015-07-10_095844.jpg" data-jslghtbx-group="group" data-jslghtbx-caption="Remove rotted area."> + </a> +<figcaption>Remove rotted area.</figcaption> +</figure> + +<figure class="picwide"> + <a itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/ImageObject" href="https://images.luxagraf.net/original/2017/1969-dodge-travco_2015-07-10_102154.jpg " title="view larger image"> + <img class="u-photo" itemprop="contentUrl" sizes="(max-width: 1439px) 100vw, (min-width: 1440px) 1440px" srcset="https://images.luxagraf.net/2017/1969-dodge-travco_2015-07-10_102154_picwide-sm.jpg 720w, https://images.luxagraf.net/2017/1969-dodge-travco_2015-07-10_102154_pic33.jpg 420w" alt="1969 Dodge Travco interior water damage repaired photographed by luxagraf" data-jslghtbx="https://images.luxagraf.net/original/2017/1969-dodge-travco_2015-07-10_102154.jpg" data-jslghtbx-group="group" data-jslghtbx-caption="Fill with marine grade plywood."> + </a> +<figcaption>Fill with marine grade plywood.</figcaption> +</figure> + +<p>Rinse and repeat until you’re structurally sound again.
