My water leak looks to be fixed! Kudos to Beckley's and nuCamp

Well this was a surprise. Took my 2018 T@G in to replace the inner panel of the galley hatch due to damage from water coming into the panel. The panel had a fair amount of water in it and was bubbling on the bottom of the panel along the latches and also at the top that would be the low point when the hatch was open. Apparently the factory recommended a complete replacement of the hatch. The dealer (Beckley's RV Thurmont, MD) completed the replacement and kept the unit over the weekend because we were due a fair amount of rain which we did get. No leaks! The only bad thing is I lost my stickers from the back 😥

I'll get over it.

Just curious as to how you first found the leak. Was it easy to detect?

We have the same problem only now the water that leaked in the hatch has corroded the aluminum. We’ve had an expert paint guy sand to the aluminum, and repaint 3x now and bubbles keep coming back. After taking the inside panel off we saw an incredible corroded inner panel. No wonder…the seals on the handles has loosened down through time allowing a small amount of water to collect and drain when the hatch was opened and why wasn’t the inside panel painted with waterproof. 6 months after crappy 2 yr warranty so we’ll have to buy a new one. $700 plus shipping cost. Really sucks!

Note to owners. If you see and rust on the hatch handles on the inside take them off, reseal the latch rubber with caulking and replace the screws with stainless ones.
