Hi Gang! Another Toy newbie joins the fold. My Widget is a 1986 Conquest. 71K miles with a new rebuilt engine that has less than 2K on it.
I think I paid okay for it, about $4K by the time I got it home, but almost every day I'm discovering the seller was a lying sack of you-know-what on the condition of the cab. Blessedly, all the electrical works great and, other than the raunchy carpet, the interior is very nice.
Here's a big surpirse, lots and lots of undisclosed water damage. Today, after 4 days of torrential rain, I went inside and found a puddle on the kitchen table. But, not here to complain, I'll be reading all of your custom threads for the long term repairs. Here's my stupid newbie question. On the roof on the right side, toward the back (just in front of the door), on the edge of the roof, is a long narrow rectangular opening in the roof. Mine has no cover.
What the heck is it?
Is it supposed to have a cover?
Where can I get one or what is a good kludge?
All of the old water damage is on that side of the coach. Could this be at least part of the culprit? Other than that, the roof is fairly clean - other than the sag from the accumulated damage. I have a second story balcony and got up and looked down.
Good to meet you all. Terri
