Water marks on the kitchen counter for the 2nd Time

[Jazzman442]

My wife noticed water marks on the stove section of our kitchen counter for the 2nd time. I’m assuming that the water is coming from around the window but I’m not sure where to start. I felt around the rubber trim outside and it seems to be tight. Any suggestions would be helpful…Thanks. I’m including some pics.

I'll suggest the window is leaking; and water is getting behind that luan wall board, soaking down, and collecting on the counter.

Time to pull that window out, check for how much damage and then reinstall (with proper sealing).

You might want to look under the sink too and see what is happing down there.

Maybe condensation?

Now that I look a bit closer, have to agree with traveldawg

@traveldawg This camper is killing me. Okay..I’ve never taking a window out like that but it shouldn’t be to bad, I’m thinking. I just thought of something, maybe it’s leaking from the roof line. I’ll let you guys know what I find. Thanks

Jazzman,

Here of what I would do…

With a helper inside the camper, spray different areas of the window with a light spray to simulate rain. Your helper can observe and see if it comes in.

You can also feel the wood surrounding the window on the interior to help guide extent of potential damage.

You can also visually inspect the window seal for obvious areas or even not so obvious areas of leaking.

Take lots of pictures and do your best to determine the source of the leak before you remove the window.

Good Luck,
Bill

I'll bet you can remove the interior trim without taking the window all the way out. Just be sure someone is on the outside holding it in when you remove the interior trim.

@traveldawg I just took the interior trim off and everything looks solid but it was wet on the bottom lower right hand corner. I had my wife spray water and I’m not seeing any water come in.

Did you spray all around?

Also, if in fact the windows is not leaking, that means it’s migrating from somewhere else, and those can be very tough to find.

Methodically spray different areas and see if it gets wet.

Another thought as well, do you have an icemaker? Check the water line for that.

@Redapple63 Thanks…will do. I do not have an ice machine.
