Triton 430 Leak in when stored

Hi Anyone had a problem with water leaking in through the closed pop up roof during storage? Left our 430 for a few weeks went to pick up from storage and heard dripping when we went in. Water running from roof and has damaged rear internal panels. We store the van with the front higher that the rear. After last trip i raised the front even more hoping this will cure the problem Any comments / thoughts appreciated

Thanks Aaron, i havent checked there but water was coming in from the back side edge of the pop up roof area. We hitched up went inside and we could hear dripping and it was running down the outside of the cupboards towards the back corner of the inside panels. Panels were slightly swollen suggesting that there had been leaks in the previous 3 weeks. I find it very disappointing / annoying on a 2019 van

Hi Geoff. I'm not au-fait with the post 2010 vans with the flatter roofs and a different shape pop-top to the earier ones but I seem to remember a number of cases where they did leak into the van from the rear of the roof.
There's probably some discussion on here but the immediate solution during storage was to park them slightly "nose down" where as the older vans are normally parked "nose up". This is to stop water gathering at the rear of the roof beneath the pop top.

Geoff, your dealer will soon be able to confirm if the van still has its "Water Ingress" warranty. When the van is serviced at an Eriba dealer and the water test done then a certificate number is issued by Hymer that is held on their records. In effect you are paying into an insurance scheme that is available to you for 6 years from new. It is not a cheap test, costing typically around £150.

Hmm that is the exact opposite of what i have done!! Think i tried it once and the front seats got dripped on when we moved off but not as badly as the back did the other day
