D.oes anybody have problems with the rear lights on their Coachman Acadia fllling up with condensation and causing regular bulb failure. My experience is the moulding that the rear lights are mounted in can over a given period allow up to half litre of water to enter the said moulding with the result that when you are traveling down the road it can eventually enter the rear light clusters. Despite contacting Coachman they do not want to rectify the problem claiming it is only condensation

Why not contact the dealer who sold you the van rather than Coachman? It is obviously a problem and it’s the dealer's problem to sort out if you are within the warranty period.

Probably easier/more convenient to remove the light cluster from the moulding and silicone seal any holes in it to stop the water entering. once its dry obviously.

By all means try the dealer, who will probably not want to know and if they do they wont fix it properly.

Another example of poor design/build quality on coachman vans. Supposedly the best build quality of all UK vans -  not my experience.
