Hi All,
We have a problem with water seeping in along a seam in the middle of the floor of our camping trailer. The floor is made of vinyl. Has anyone had this problem and got any ideas on how we can stop it.
Thanks
Ellen

Have a Trak Shak
I have a had ground sheet made from doubled over ( stitched Sides ) Shadecloth
Works a treat. But it will not stop all the water from getting in, I may try the spray on canvas sealer trick, it maybe the way to go.
The other thing is, we have marine carpet inside, that almost covers the entire floor, and even though we got caught in a 2" downpour, on Labour Day long wekend ( Victoria , in March ) ,, we had dry feet,, and to think water got in in only a couple of
places.
It also acts as a protector for the floor
Cheers Bucky

Hi bucky,
Thanks for that, sounds like a good idea. We live in
Cairns, so we get LOTS of rain. We have been using a tarp as a ground sheet, but that traps the water between the 2 layers. Friday night/sat morning it was like walking on a water bed. I think we might give the spray sealer a go and also change the ground sheet to shadecloth like yours. We use cotton mats inside so they can be washed without to much trouble. (got a very grubby 4 yr old boy)
