Hi guys,apologies if I have posted this in the wrong forum.
I decided on the weekend to continue with the interior upgrades I started some time back. You know the score if you have time to do it you just as well be away...so it kinda stalled.
Above the overcab bed is a roofvent,inside this was a black blob..above the flyscreen,it looked like a slug.I took the vent lower sections apart and have discovered a nasty sopping wet surround,rather black and timber spongey soft on lower side. After having a tap around my gut feeling is it has spread. Im guessing that I may have to remove a section of the ceiling but I dont really know how its constructed,ie what is in between the metal roof and the ceiling wallboard,whats there thats sucked up the water and allowed it to spread? Motorhome is a 1995 CI . Can somebody help me out with a good link to a repair guide?Is there a chance I could remove the rotten inner frame revealed by removing the roofvent dry it out through the gap and replace the frame and vent then count my lucky stars.The existing vent is 400x400mm. Stu
