Water Pooling in Living Room Window (1 Viewer)

[davidathomas42]

So here is another of my early tech questions on the Swift Escape 696 (had the van 12 days now)

I have noticed a couple of times after or during rain that I am getting a pool of water building up in the bottom left hand corner of the plastic pop out window where the table and chairs are.

Its mopped up in the picture bar a few drops and was not excessively pooling onto the floor (mainly because I caught it early) but I dare say given a proper lengthily rain spell id have to leave a towel down to catch it.

It makes sense where it is re its parked slightly downhill so that would be the natural run to point. But should they let in any water at all? I would hope for a better seal. Or am I hoping for to much from a coach build? Its a 2015 with 3000miles on it.

Thanks

@davidathomas42 have you posted the wrong photo.

You're not hoping for too much. it should be waterproof. it may be the window seal leaking but if you have a warranty I would take it back to the dealer . It may also be worth demanding a damp check or doing your own

@davidathomas42 Is it water ingress or condensation, i am continually drying ours this weather when the heating is on, but if the van is unoccupied it isn't a problem.

It will be ingress as we have not used it for a couple of days.

Looks same as video on thIs thread

I would say should be a warranty issue as you have just bought it, I know not a brand new van but I would count 2015 as nearly new.

Happy enough to call the company to sort it under warranty. Just wanted to see if this is a regular issue that everyone deals with or a faulty item.
Will give them a call tomorrow over that and the smoke detector

I think you will find that the water goes in behind the rubber seal at the top of the window and then runs around the seal before coming out inside, if it get in it should come out under the seal to the outside.

We had that problem on our 201Swift Bessecarr
Get it checked by the dealer assp as it may be more serious than it looks
