We had FTs and they are fine coaches but you explained the very reason we sold ours and later bought a BlueBird and then a Newell. ANY coach can leak if not looked after (or structural damage of some sort). Our coach had some leaking around the Windows but mostly from condensation and not rain. The slides are another story - they are a blessing/curse. If there is anything under the seal they leak, if the coach is not leaned over during a storm, they leak. We are adding an awning over the main slide and will let all know how it is doing - this should stop the leaky slides... Don't get me wrong, I liked our FT but I loved our Wanderlodge and I love our Newell even more!
