Trooper T5 Roof "Dripping" Empty Trooper T5 Roof "Dripping"

Post by HuwG Sat Jul 27, 2013 3:47 pm

Hi - Just joined the Forum - have been away for the first time in our 2007 Trooper City with solid sided raised roof. No real problems apart from experiencing loud knocking from the rear of the roof early in am - when in investigating found that condensated water was dripping from the back of the roof onto the plastic rear bumper - quite loud enough to wake me at 5 am. Not experienced any rain yet - so don't know if the same. Anyone else had the same? Is there a known fix? Grateful for any comments/guidance.

If there is a solution, I never found it! We owned a pop-top solid sided A-S for almost 20 years, and got woken many times by the loud sound of water dropping off the sides or rear of the roof onto some other part of the van.

Having said that, this was always with rain. I think in the UK it's quite rare to have humidity high enough for this to occur just through condensation, so I doubt you'll get that specific problem often. One other thing you may also find - once you know what it is, your brain will ~probably~ just filter it out and it will cease to disturb you, even though it can be quite loud...
