Has anyone experienced little tiny bumps in their wall paper? My wife researched it and they're called pimples. I have them on the inside wall of one of my slides. The other slides are ok. I fear I have a small leak somewhere on that slide. My wife poked a hole in a lot of them with a needle and some moisture (a burgundy color) came out of one of them. The top of the slide visually looks ok so I'm not sure where to look for water seeping into the slide. If it's one of the seals, it's difficult to tell.
Any ideas?

Hopefully, you're still in warranty. Hie thee to yon dealer and have them inspect it, PDQ. ANY moisture in the walls is no bueno. Lyle |

Yep, X2 take it to the dealer PDQ! Unfortunately, I bought it from the original owner and K-Z says the warranty only applies to the original owner. I wasn't aware warranties aren't transferable. I'll see what the dealership can do, hopefully it doesn't cost an arm and a leg to fix. |

I have the same issue in a couple places, I plan on a large bore hypodermic needle with some Elmer's glue or something similar. If you don't have a needle you can buy them from a pharmacy in many states. Not AZ even, with injectable prescription they just filled. They won't sell you one go to the local feed store and get one there. |

I'm worried we have some water trapped between the wall paper and wall board. |

My mom put small rubber/plastic backer pads on most of her good framed pictures, and some of them would literally dissolve and run down the wall, leaving a brown streak. Lyle |

I would take the trailer someplace an have them look at it closely, we had the same thing an found out it was delamination an it's going to coast us a bundle to fix our 4 year old trailer because the outside window in one place wasn't sealed properly an we didn't catch it in time

Edd Correct, dealer said window seal assembly on Frameless windows was one problem on the de-laminate on outside wall, side wall window also problem, but I'm not sure an they can not answer the question of how that much damage can happen when side window was enclosed in trailer ... One problem I see is how do you detect a seal leaking on a fameless window till you see a problem on your wall, on regular trailer window you can detect such pretty darn quick, but these i don't know Ugh !!!! Same with Bedroom floor on the outside wall under the wall, no one can answer this questions I keep asking Ugh !!!! As well the floor dropping 3/4 for 8 to 10 inches under kitchen side wall, why an how Ugh !!!!! Safe Travels Chuck |

Not only outside frame-less Window but window on front of slide an slide seals all three .... I'd like to see when they take the Windows out on both the outside an front of the slide what it looks like, I don't care i'll drive the 50 miles to look at such when they pull them ...
I also want to see what they do with the wall on the inside an outside, none of this glue an screw stiff, I want them to pull the bottom slide rail an show me that the outside wall dozen't flex ... Gurrrr !!!!!
Safe Travels my friend

Washed it today and found most of the vertical seals need re-caulked after 4 years. Guess when I get home it's time to go around all walls and check caulking.

They won't sell you one go to the local feed store and get one there. Well finally got around to doing the fix. Tractor supply had needles and I used a 16 gauge to inject the glue, DO NOT USE contact cement it melted the wall paper! I rolled it back down with a roller but it wrinkled instead of laying flat, I see some type tile, a mirror, of peal and stick covering the wrinkles. |

Is this the same slide in which the wall is separating? If so I would strongly suspect the two could be related. Good luck and safe travels!

Yes it the same wall that puled when the replaced the hydrophilic ram, so I'm sure it's related. Just warning don't use the contact cement, Elmers may work better.
