Scotchgard + Wet Floor

More for something to do than anything else I decided to apply Scotchgard to all the soft furnishings to guard against spills etc..


Suppose I should have done it before but never got around to it but anyway it's done now.

If anyone else wants to do it,to give two coats it needs five cans,easily available from E-Bay.


Secondly, I have noticed that the underside floor at the rear offside is very wet.

There is nothing showing inside,have had the panel off under the bathroom sink and all is bone dry.

All seems dry around the toilet,flush tank is empty,the only thing I can think of is that rain is running down the panels,sticking to the GRP as it extends underneath and wetting the floor.

Anyone else had this problem and if so how did you remedy it ?

Last year at service that corner was 18% when the rest of the floor was about 13-14% so it wasn't too bad then,it's certainly more than that now.

Perhaps it gets wet like this every winter,never gets chance to dry out till spring and has dried sufficiently to be OK for the May service after some ( hopefully ) warmer weather.

Could do with drying it out really with a hairdryer or the like but it is in storage with the wheels off and no electric so will  to wait for better weather and see what happens.

Anyway Happy Christmas and a good Covid Free new year to all my followers,or should that be follower,who knows.

  1. Hi,
    Could it be the seal on the toilet outer door? The seal on mine looked oK but was letting in water when rain blown against it. Replacing the seal solved my problem.
