My Adria Coral motorhome is just over two years old. It recently developed a leak with water dropping down from the roof light above the island bed. Adria were disappointingly a little reluctant at first to cover it under warranty, but eventually agreed to cover it. The engineer could find nothing wrong with the window, seals or mechanism, so it appeared to be a problem with the initial installation back at the Adria factory. The rooflight was taken out and replaced with a new one. Everything seemed okay for two weeks and then after last weeks storms I discovered it was leaking from the same place. The engineer now believes that there is a fundamental design fault in the roof light whereby water is pushed by the wind under the outside plastic and over the forced ventilation gap, where it gathers on the inside ledge and drips down on to the bed. It seems the only answer is to block the forced ventilation gap, but this may obviously cause the build up of condensation inside the van. Does anyone have similar experience of this? If so I would be interested to hear how you solved it. It seems bizarre that Adria would produce a rooflight with a basic design fault.
