More Rot

Found the left back wall, soft and the luan panel is disinagrated. Where can this panel be purchased. I have not tackled the problem yet, but I believe the lights are a possible source of the leak. Pretty discussed. First the bed slide floor, then the basement floor and now this. Not a happy camper.

Guess I would try a dealer first. Couple of posts on this forum where Keystone sent direct, no cost. Water leaks are a killer for RV units.

Well tackeled the rear wall. Found that the inside panel had almost desinagrated. Removed the rear cabinet and then the rest of the rear wall to the center.Found out how the workmanship in the built of the Montana is. There was a piece of 1X 3 glued to the insulation in between the studs and was 11/2 " short between the studs rear cuboardd does not have a lot of support. poor workmanship.The rear outside panel has also started to delaminate. Reglued the out side panel this pm and reinstalled all the mouldings. Found the leak which appears to be broken down caulking. Now get to the inside. By the way the rear wall has fiberglas insulation and not ridged like the side walls as the rear walls are hung panels.

Sounds like you are dealing with a big leak

It actually was a small leak just was doing it for a while, like maybe 4-5 years as with the other leaks that I had.
