a little water

took a 3 day trip up to muscatine, left in a major rain storm; first 3 hours of drive was in constant rain, 2 hours a complete mid west monsoon; anyone living in the mizzou/hawkeye  area knows that the rivers are flowing and out of control; was concerned with water in the pod upon arrival; upon inspection found water on floor under dining table and under bed(down by the heater); all windows totally dry, all cushions and mattress area totally dry; bathroom totally dry; all walls totally dry; basically everything totally dry except a small (and I do mean small) amount in those area; did it come thru slide? thru the floor?  an excellent trip, dry camped; honestly i think that's the way to go; drove up on battery power then switched to gas; one other strange thing ive noticed in my pod is that when i switch to gas (and my lines are purged) is that it will not ignite unless i turn off all three powers to fridge then reset to gas; if i go directly from battery to gas it won't fire; hang in there mid west with all the storms

the amount of water i drove through (again torrential and many times only able to drive 25ish to see and control)and the water the tv was throwing up, it's hard to believe there isn't some breach somewhere on the pod but would like to figure it out if possible; just very curious with why those two specific spots

Originally posted by techntrek I, and others, have found the vinyl flooring will bubble up while on the road from air pressure.  Doesn't seem to always be true but then I don't always run right inside at stops to see.  I've always thought that if air can get in at the floor level going down the road, so can water...

So does this suggest I should leave the bathroom vent slightly open while  towing to equalize the pressure? Although, the shape and placement of the vent cover may add to the vacuum. My Pod is so tight that, with the vent open and running, I can hear the difference when I open a window or the door.

The outside storage area seals look perfect and was completely dry, and it is also in the back under the floor.  Wondering if water could of blown in thru the hot water/heater vents and came in thru the furnace area.  That could maybe explain the back water, but not water under table.  Both storage areas under the front dinette set perfectly dry.  Thanks for the ideas. 

good thought; just thinking; each end probably low spot, has to be coming in somewhere; all wood(mine is 100% oak by the way)is dry with  no marks; but it was only 3 hours then dry and alot of wind so good drying out; just a drag that it didn't withstand the storm 100%; but bottom line thus far..............hogpod is good
