Water Damage in 2012 FC-RB
So, I've been a bit laid up all spring due to a rotator cuff surgery. Finally went out to where I've been storing my 2012 flying cloud 25' RB. As I am hooking the batteries back up, my wife opens the door - and a bunch of water comes out. We look in and see that the floor is stained near the door and, as I step through the threshold, I feel mushiness underneath the vinyl flooring. I think I nearly started crying.
I know I've got water damage (don't know how long the water had been standing there, but long enough to rot out the floorboard at the door). I've owned this Airstream since 2014 and have never had a leak in it (and we've gone through some pretty good storms). It's been in storage since last October. I checked the rest of the airstream and no evidence of leaks. I suspect that the water came through the door (the step was half-out, and I wonder if snow piled up on it and melted and leaked in at the bottom of the door). It's raining now, so I plan on taking a look at it while it's raining.
So, question: where do I start? To say I'm a bit devastated by this is an understatement.
