Floor

I have had to replace the floor in my Sport because of water intrusion through the refrigerator vents . I am told it’s an owner maintenance item to insure the integrity of the seal/ gasket. Is this correct?

Pretty much. The verbiage in my warranty booklet says pretty much the same thing regarding seals, coatings and gaskets.

I go over mine with a fine-toothed comb about every six months looking for anything amiss but especially any wear/damage/degradation that would allow water intrusion. Then, every other year or so, I find an RV dealership with a Seal-Tech machine and have the unit pressurized and any leaks resealed.

Water is the nemesis of longevity in the Airstream (actually any RV) world and it is hard to keep one dry, especially when you tow it thousands of miles every year.
