I recently discovered signs of a roof leak in my Jayco fiver (small pool of
tan-colored water on the counter under a window, light brown water leaking
from the upper corner of the roof at the rear and from a tail light
housing -- all after a rain). There are no soft spots on the roof, no
delamination of the fiberglass sidewalls, or bubbling of the ceiling
material. In short, it looks like nothing critical has happened yet.

Starting this afternoon, I will do all the usual things to find and seal the
leak on top. But am concerned about the long-term effects on the trailer of
having been exposed to water for an unknown period of time.

How well does wet wood dry out once the source of the leak is repaired?

Is there any way of knowing if the amount of water that has gotten in
will -- in time -- start rotting out the plywood and wood joists?

The color of the leaked water does worry me -- does that mean that there is
rotting already going on in the plywood?

Any help would be appreciated.
