Damp Above Control Panel

#1 · 26. September 2019, 21:09

Hi, from the UK. On the wall the Truma Control Panel has been tested. I think this is very unusual for Weinsberg. My dealer thinks it could be a screw holding the Thule Awning strip to the roof. Does anyone else have a problem?

Hi AshMaz,

ok ok, now I think I got it 🙂 🙂

I can't believe the screw holding the bracket from the awning is the trigger, there isn't that much water, as there is an additional sealing strip between roof and awning...

But I also have a screw holding the awning strip to the roof, I can imagine, that this will cause the leakage. Verifiying seems easily to me: Take a hose and spray on it, second person take a look from the inside - how do you think about it?

Do you have a solar Panel on the roof? Hopefully there isn't an issue between Roof and wall!?

Thank you Thorsten. It is good to confirm that you have a screwdriver on the roof. Our screw did not have any sealant. It has been sealed now. I have a solar panel which is bonded to the roof. Water is not visible near the damp reading. I hope there is no leak between the roof and wall. I think this is very unusual for a Weinsberg.

You English is very good and thank you for taking the time to reply. I have no German language skills and are very few Peppers in the UK.

Überprüfe mal das Kabel der Aussenlampe. Das ist schlecht abgedichtet. Dort kann Wasser in den Bereich kommen.

Check the cable of the external lamp. This is badly sealed.

There can be water in the area.

Hi Safra, thank you for replying to my post. I will check out the cable to the external lamp.

Regards, Ashley

The problem has now been identified as the awning bracket above the habitation door. The sealer has not adhered to the body. As the bracket is fixed behind the control panel it is difficult to remove & reseal. This is very unusual in a Weinsberg. My engineer will fix it.
