Our 01 Minnie Winnie has developed a seperation on the lower portion of the overhead cab. It was down getting some maintenance work done when I noticed it. It is in the area where that metal support strip runs under the overhang. The guy that was working there on Saturday thinks that some screw heads may have broken he didn't see any wood rot but Monday they will look closer. Anyone had a similar issue? Thanks.

Somewhere inside the structure there is some rotting in the wood frame.

It's possible that you have some moisture in that area - depending on how much you may have something as simple as old rusted screw which busted or as complicated as rotted wood frame. If it's just old/rusted screws then replace with larger stainless steel screws.

We had a leak on the passenger side of the cabover where the side wall meets the floor. The trim strip that was supposed to seal the joint didn't cover the side wall and allowed water to seep in. We had some wood rot in the forward side of the cabover.

Leak location before recaulking.
