Hello we have a 2022 Venture stratus 29QVB, we bought brand new. We were only able to use it once after we bought it and on our maiden voyage we discovered water in the bedroom on drivers side. We took it back to wear we bought it and told them. We go to pick it up and they want to charge me 400 for a roof leak. Yes I had a fit and told them it's brand new our first trip and the leak from the roof is my fault? We went round and round and finally they said as a courtesy we will remove the charge. Nokomis RZ in Florida lost my business. Fast forward it has been in storage and a year later we are taking it out for our second trip across country Florida to Washington state. We have our first rain storm and water is in the bedroom again. We believe it is coming from the drivers side window as it is not flat against the side.
Then on day two of our trip the outlet the TV is plugged into the one in the living room and bedroom are both dead! We have to use extension cord from kitchen to make the Tv work. Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem?

Troubleshoot leaks with a water hose with spray nozzle. With a small low pressure spray area, start at the window bottom, and hold in one place for 5/10 minutes. If no leak, move to a different window area and recheck. It can take a while to pinpoint leaks. Makes sure the camper is level, so the water will not run away from the source of the leak.
Is there a breaker tripped? Since more than one receptacle is affected, is there a ground fault receptacle that needs to be reset (a leak can trip the GF receptacle)? If not, it's probably a bad connection in the circuit. The receptacle is not the best design. Most are two piece units, that you remove a little outer insulation, put one piece behind the wire and snap the front on. The front piece nicks the wires in a place or two for connection, and they call it good. Those little nicks create hot spots where the wire can break. If removing the receptacle to check, just replace it with a regular receptacle.

Most people say their trailers leak water on the floor during a rain storm. I can imagine driving down the road 60MPH during a light rain would force the rain pass the seals. I know on my Sonic I install or stick-on mini rain gutters over all windows and doors. The gutter was a roll of about 3/4" wide like a J shape to force the water from side yo side. When my A/C was on the moisture would run off the back and down on the window. I'm not sure if your model has slide in the bedroom but that could be part of the problem. Just guessing here, food for thought.

Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem? Sorry to hear about your purchase.....I bought a brand new Sport Trek 312 and mine has been nothing but trouble. Zero pride in the workmanship of this travel trailers. Guess my expectations were too high for 38 grand! Mine is absolute junk! |
