Is my RV leaking or not leaking, that is the question?

When camping/glamping in the rain, relaxing, watching a movie is a great way to pass the time, unless you notice a leak and don't want the Mrs to see.


According to the Canadian RV Association, (CRVA), people new to RV ownership make up 40% of the RV's on the road today. That is a staggering number of overwhelmed owners learning the ropes of RV ownership.


Ask any experienced RVer how big the gap was between what they know now verses being a newbie. Some lessons can be financially devastating. 

The insurance companies, RV dealers and manufacturers know RV owners are solely responsible for roof and other exterior seal maintenance to prevent rain leaks. Rain leaks and the issues they cause are the biggest inconspicuous enemies of ownership.  Without early detection methods, the hidden leak grows, travels and water damage spreads. Sadly, owners would react with urgency if they only knew. 


So how can owners effectively react to a rain leak you can't see?  The answer: Don't be cavalier about how, when, or underestimate the time it takes to inspect seals properly. The cost of a mistake is too high. RV ProSeal uses the best preventative measures available to check the RV exterior for water tightness and early detection. It starts with a pressurized seal integrity test & report. The report benefits the owners with proof of what was inspected, what passed, what failed and any maintenance required. 


Springtime after opening and fall before winterizing are an excellent time to schedule a seal integrity test. If you travel with your camper often, another test in the summer is best for early detection to protect yourself from the heavy rain storms. Our mobile service provides owners with quick availability vs long waits at the dealer and more time for camping.


If you are purchasing a new or used camper, you can include a seal integrity test and its findings as a condition of sale.
