I just did an overnight rain test (1 inch of rain) in my driveway. 1 gallon of water found in galley! Leaking all along the top edge seals, and down the forward galley wall. Ripped out all of the galley weatherstripping, and will try again with the plans solution. The black metal/rubber seal did not go around the curves well at all, and the seal was rolled inward and downward in those areas. I had already added additional foam to galley to try to compensate for this, thinking that might help for where the black metal/rubber seal was not standing proud, but to no avail.
Perhaps the galley needs a bilge pump?
Also, 1 tablespoon leaked (tiny drip-drip-drip) from somewhere around the fan hatch onto the mattress. All possible gaps on fan hatch already siliconed, but somewhere is a pinhole. More silicone will probably get this eventually.
The only good news here is that with 1/2 inch of standing water overnight in the galley, nothing dripped down into the bedroom.
Guess I will be dry-camping, weatherwise, until fixed.
Does anyone have a better solution proven than the stock plans approach?
