| sealing seams in the wheel wells..
After going to the rally at Topsail recently, some of the guys with the older units were talking about water wicking up through the insulation in the underbelly, rotting the floor areas and rusting the floor steel under carriage. Well...I got a little tip for you all that may help reduce water getting in there in the first place. After pulling my wheels off my 05 25' FB, at the front of the inner wheel well, the rear and across the entire back ( inner ) there is a total of 5 seam areas that during traveling in the rain, water can come in these seams and run down in the under belly sheet metal, and possibily be soaked up by the insulation that drapes down between the span of the cross members in the ladder frame work. You could use any good tube of sealant that you wish to use. So alittle prevention now will pay off in the long run. I plan to keep my rig for the long haul, not trade or sell in a year or two.
