Have found damp, well actually its sodden in the front offside corner of our whirlwind, We are using it in 4 weeks,so no time to do a proper repair I guess, so I just need to get it temporarily sorted until october when I can get it in the garage and remove all the interior.
I first noticed the the front side where it meets the front panel was soft just above the seat, so i decided to cut a section of the panelling away below the top of the seat back, so it cant be noticed when cusions on for now.
I had a small fan heater in there last night and it has dried quite a lot so ill give it another couple of evenings.
When removing the wallboard you can see it has left the bottom ply of wood,which seems to be glued to the insulation, is there a way of getting it off without ripping the the polystyrene to bits ? it needs to come off so I can get to the window frame timbers (wet as well) but can't see how i can do it without taking all the insulation with it (which also feels like its glued to the outer skin ?
The timber above the hook up box is rotten, as is the timber right at the front, which goes through into the locker box, from inside the locker box the timber that runs above (under the front shelf) is dry and also all the timbers around the front windows are all solid and dry.
There were a few gaps in the rail above the windows and also where the side rail starts to curve down so I have sealed these with silicone until I have time to remove them all and do properly.
some pics ..
