Hi there!
I thought I was about ready to put the finishing touches on my trailer, until I found wet wood and insulation today. There isn't a way to dry out the installation is there? Just thought I'd ask before replacing it. Thank you!

Rv sealer is ok for micro leaks,, but remember if it had leaked quite a bit, you will have internal water damage if not attended to promply.  As Pat mentioned,, be sure to removed any and all damaged material, wood insualtion, as to not promote mold. Water damage mold quickly turns to black mold which is very very Unhealthy and can cause respitory issues. Take your time and survey the damage area, and repair it with fresh materials,, i.e. wood, insualtion,barrier sheething. And it will be well worth it, when you take to the road to enjoy that vacation road trip that you deserve.  Good luck,,, and the help forums are here to help along with other members to guide you through it.

Thank you Pat and
Lakota! Pat, I used RV sealer last summer on the outside. I had purchased it at the RV store. What do you think about that product?

It doesnt dry out very well. Its best to replace it with new. That way you won;t have any future mold issues. Good luck.
