Hello all,
Just getting started on the forum but have been following Mike since I started thinking about a Truck camper
2016 Northern lite SPortsman
2017 Chevy Silverado HD 3500
What do you all think of a window leak on 2016, well cared for camper? I had assumed this was covered under Northern lite warranty but its not. I cant find the actual leak, only happens during sig. rain storm or when raining and traveling at high speed. Anyone with an idea is welcome. Thanks for the help.
Chris
Chris,
I haven’t worked on a NL, but suspect the windows are installed like those on other RVs. On the inside of the camper is there what is call a “beauty ring” that can be unscrewed? If so I always found that trying to simply caulk around the outside is a lost cause so I normally popped the window out and clean the side of the camper and used tacky tape or butyl tape and put the window back in. I am not sure how NL seals them from the factory so someone here may be able to provide more info.
And yeah, factories hold owners responsible claiming a lack of maintenance for what is normally a subpar install from the git-go. Normally a window seal is good for many years if the window is installed correctly. 🙁
