Wanted to update on the resolution of our water issues, particularly after hearing other stories about water damage.

After an insurance claim with Alstate for over $11,000, we now have a new bathroom roof vent, all new ceiling insulation, ceiling panels, new carpet of a superior grade than previously installed, and a new living room TV. Also replaced one of the control boards in the Dometic fridge. Our 07 model smells like a new trailer and looks great inside as well. Can't say enough about Mark Kersey and the crew at Wheels RV regarding their work.

While the interior of the roof was exposed, everything was inspected for current or previous water damage. No sign of previous water damage was found. DRV may have some issue with roofs leaking, but outside of a broken bathroom vent, ours is not one of them.

Only less than positive issue was the fireplace was also replaced, not due to water damage but just quit working. Extended warranty bought a new one. The new fireplace doesn't have near the heat output of the old one. Might be looking at upgrading that one of these days.

Heading to San Antone in a couple of weeks and can't wait.
