Does anyone out there own a Jayco Expanda that has had problems with the ends leaking water in when driving in the rain? We recently took a trip across the Nullarbor and hit some fairly heavy rain and on stopping to set up
camp the whole front bed area was soaking wet. GRRRRRRRRRRR thought at first perhaps we had not sealed it properly but again on another trip it has happened again.
Any ideas?
Cheers Viv

I Have one but have not had the same problems. No tears in the canvas? Screwed up enough? I have towed
mine heaps and in rain but I cant actually remember towing in serious torrential stuff so maybe
mine would leak also! Must be getting in from the top. Have you got those stupid end fly bag things hanging off it all the time? I threw
mine away so maybe there is something there! Restricting air flow to disperse the water? The top is not distorted and therefore not sealing all the way along? Other than that, dunno.

Two sheets of Brickies grade plastic lining (one at each end) and a fresh tube of Silastic.
speaking from experience with an Outback Eagle but no probs.

To the reply from AJB, all of the above no we have gone through all of that stuff and we don't have those fly bags.
Thanks for the input anyway.
