RV Repair | Leaking Seal Around Cab | Coachman Leprechaun 260DS

% 8

This is a follow up video on the repair we did as while back. The fasteners were backing out again and had to tighten them back up.
Here is the link to the original video and description below:

This repair snuck up on us as my wife found it by accident. Air and road noise was entering the cab and we did not know where it was coming from. In this video, we show you the issue and our fix for the problem.
I am trying something different in showing you raw footage of the installation of the foam tape and the new screws. I wanted to show how difficult and the tedious these repairs can be.
The screws I used were #12 x 14 x 1 1/4" self drilling sheet metal screws with rubber/metal washer. I bought them at the local hardware store. I tried to find a link online but the only ones I could find were in large quantities.

I am in the process of fixing mine right now. This is a horrible design - the screws into thin aluminum tubing is destined to fail. I am going to use #10 threaded screws and lock nuts. The screw head will have to be countersunk into the wood so that the heads don't stick up into the bunk area floor.

I believe this is the best fix for this problem. I should have bolted mine. Thanks for the comment.

Thanks for these videos, this happened to mine too. Do you think you’d do it any differently?

@RMAGarage 6 месяцев назад

Thanks for the comment and question. The only other option I can think of is to to use a bolt and lock nut. If this continues to be a problem, that is my next step.

I have watched your videos and find them very informative. I have a question unrelated to your video that I hoped that you could answer. I recently bought a used 2017 Leprechaun 260 DS. My kitchen sink and shower sink do not drain at all. I have drained the grey tank using the grey drain valve on the back driver's side. But, the kitchen sink and shower still do not drain. The bathroom sink drains fine. Do you know what could cause the shower and kitchen sink to not drain?

@RMAGarage 3 месяца назад

Need a little more info. When you mean not draining, do you mean standing water in the sink and shower base? If yes, then this did happen to me. In my RV, I have trapless drains, which means that there is no "P" trap. There is a pipe with a plasitic "flap" that opens when the water runs through and then closes. It will be a straight piece of pipe about 7" long and has a larger diameter. Because of food and winterizing fluid, mine sorta glued itself shut. This would be the first thing to look for. You may need to clean it out or get a new one. Let me know how it goes....

@@RMAGarage You were correct. I had 2 of these trapless drains. I used a flexible flat piece of plastic like a snake and they opened right up. Thanks.
