That's odd..... I lost my whole post! I'll try again.

==========================

That's cheered me up, Streamquest, thanks. I am grateful it is no worse than I have found so far.

Peter.... I am indeed planning on the extra drain holes, since I believe that all RVs leak in multiple places and no one ever thought to build a bilge into one, that I know of. I am patching with heavy rubber stall matting, held down by very adhesive butyl caulk, but shall leave a gap and a series of dimpled drainholes down the edge, including on the main level since my leak had seeped all the way to the outside door.

How did you make your tunnel in the wall?

Funnel in the area where I knew of issues connected to plastic tubing out the floor

When talking drains….. More is always better.

To add additional window track drains, I used a portion of what I recall to be a small brass compression fitting. It's like a short section of brass tube with a widened funnel shaped end. I drilled a slightly chamfered hole in the track, and epoxied the fitting into place. The portion of it that passed downward through the track was perfect for attaching a length of rubber tubing to drain water out through the floor. Sorry… I wasn't taking pics at the time.

I like that suggestion. I guess you can use a flaring tool and brake pipe or similar tubing.
