When we got our camper we wet it down with the hose big time , it had some leakage when I did it but was fine each time it has rained while we have used it .

Well megan they should have told you what was required to do to the camper , we were with ours , so don't feel bad .
If you have trouble with some of the seams , a candle works realy well to seal them, by rubbing the candle along the seal it impregnates it with the wax , making it waterproof.

Interesting.... My camper said it is ready to use out of the box. It has a 'factory waterproofing'.
In saying that I hosed it down & coated it in a water proofing solution any way

I was just loctiting things that I don't want falling off. And I changed a ball joint because I was sus on it. Also did a full service, all the oils, filters and greased everything with a nipple. Then I went and played in the mud to make sure it's right and almost got bogged about 500m from home

Well our preperation for the trip will start earlier than planned.
The boys got homr from Fraser today. Shit weather.
Not happy Jan....Renee and I were loving the girls only place. No mess. We told them to set the camper up in the front yard and stay there till Friday.
We might be able to leave on Saturday now. See what happens.
