The snow is gone and we finally had consecutive days without rain so I decided to pull the tarp off the coach. Moved it up onto the driveway to assess any winter damage. The only thing I found was my fault. When I winterized it last fall I must have only run the hot water to the kitchen sink. The water filter on the cold side froze and split. Of course I only found it after the water pump would not shut off.

I believe I found the source of the major roof leak we had last year. I took the cover off the roof and body seam and noticed a section of the roof between two rivets was raised up. The raised area corresponded exactly to where the major leak was. I sealed the whole seam with flexible rubber sealer and put the cover back on. I ran a thin bead of rubber sealant along the edge of the cover piece. It is supposed to rain today so I will get to see if the repair worked.

I still need to get the EFI dialed in but it is close. We are heading out with the coach in a month for Lisa's college reunion so I need to refresh myself on the EBL setup.

All in all the coach made it through the winter quite well. No signs of rodents so I guess the electronic gizmo may have actually worked. Looking forward to our first venture out this year and hope it is a lot dryer than last year. Laughing
