All of This Because of Dried Out Caulk?

Well, we found the source of Andy's mold allergies in the RV.

I guess that's both good news and bad news. The good news? I can take Andy with me this year on our upcoming adventure. The bad news? As you can see, the demolition has begun.

It was during one of those spontaneous moments while I was doing an RV walk-around (while in the storage yard). I didn't like the look of the caulking, started to do a cursory inspection, and found that the cabover fiberglass sidewall was soft. So what does any good RVing wife do at that moment? Yell for her husband, of course. Andy came back another day to start investigating deeper into the inside of the cabover and the next thing I know he's pulling things apart...ripping up the vinyl cover, unscrewing plates, and cutting through the cabinets.

But at this point we feel pretty confident that he's isolated the damaged areas and found the source of the leak. We're just crossing our fingers that we have another week of dry skies so we can get the wood dried out and the repairs made.
