They made clean cutouts for my lover hatch openings with the protective film sheathong cut even w/ the thin luan plywood and the clean cut is generally 1/8" away from the inside edge of the oval door metal frame. So water could get into this small gap. All wood is solid, and only around genset are there potential issues: across the bottom, the fikm is puchered off the luan, and going up the right side, it is loose - wood still solid.
What/where is Gorilla tape, and how is it w/r duck tape (redneck's dream tool).

Gorilla Tape is a brand of better duck tape. Supposedly much better. I will say that the adhesive gets on my fingers just from handling a piece, and it takes some work to get it off.
Gorilla Tape is sold in hardware stores.
Currently RV-less but not done yet.
My typos are terrible as I reread my post again
The opening for the genset had the most issues, but still had not allowed plywood damage. The film is puckering away from the wood along the bottom edge between the oval metal frame and the lower metal C channel.
And about a 6"x6" patch of the film is loose from the wood to the right of the opening.

I just looked again, and though loose along the bottom, the film is tucked in under the metal opening and lower channel.
I may tape the open edge to the oval metal to clamp shut the right loose patch of film and mayne premptively similarly tape over the 1/8" gap where it occurs elsewhere.

Burl, Gorilla tape is at Home Depot, and yes, it's stronger/better than run of the mill duct tape.

Well, these are a good start
We emptied tank running the water pump. Then, I found a little T-handle drain that you unscrew w/ several turns and releases a thin stream of H2O to the outside - it is a black hose screwed into the tank side (near to) the bottom of the tank.
Is this thin stream proper to you guys?
Wouldn't there still be some very bottom dirty water left below the lower edge of the side black hose opening?
If so, how do I easily get all water to drain?
