How it works is they hook up this machine to one of the roof air vents that pumps air inside the motorhome. While the machine is running, a service tech sprays a soapy mixture on the outside of the motorhome all along the windows, doors, slideouts, roof and anywhere there might be a breach in the exterior where a water leak might seep through.
The good news was the motorhome did not look like it was in a bubble bath (meaning there were not a lot of leaks). The bad news was there was a couple of spots on the roof where the caulking has gotten so old that the water is probably seeping in despite all our attempts to keep it caulked. What really needs to be done is all the old caulking removed and new caulking installed. Yuck!
They gave us a price to just replace the caulking along the front cap and a price to replace all the caulking. However, we want to investigate further a new type of sprayed on roof sealant from RVRoof.com that is guaranteed to not leak for 20 years...and does not require caulking and re-caulking and re-caulking.
After leaving Carpenter's Campers, we began heading toward Atlanta where we will be spending a couple of weeks of the Christmas holidays. Our site at Stone Mountain was not available until Friday so we decided to drive about halfway.
We found a very nice Corp of Engineer campground on West Point Lake: R. Shaefer Heard Park. The sites are water and electric only but most of them back up to the lake. After riding through the park, we decided on Site #26.
We had a great view of the lake.
Of course, with it being winter, there were only about 6 other campers in the park. I imagine the park stays full in the summer.
We went for a walk around the campground loop and were treated to an absolutely beautiful sunset. I couldn't decide which picture to post so I posted all of them.
This is a park we would like to come back to again sometime when it is warmer and maybe enjoy a little biking and fishing!
