115 volt junction box failed

Since we came home from Az our breaker on the shop has been kicking off several times a day. Today I did some checking and found a small electrical box under the big slide that was full of water. It seems that the lid is not water proof and when we were driving in the rain it filled with water. Just a heads up if you have a similar problem.

Dry it out really well and seal the cover with silicone. That should do it.

Yes, I dried it out and bought a new lid with a gasket. The next time I drive in rain and slush I will check it just to make sure it is sealed.

If the box is facing down, the lid is probably ok. The box is probably leaking from behind and dripping into the box. Clean around the box and silicone it to stop the leak.
