Design of dormobile roofs

[MrMatt]

I am still on my search for the right dormobile, and being in the US, I have found I am able to get some parts locally, so that helps.
My question is, from the pictures it appears the roof has depressions in which rainwater can collect...




and would be around the .. well, what I call the hatch covers. Once these are open I do not know if there is a upward lip of the roof top to stop water egress... but I imagine so.
How does water not get in through here?

I know in my luggage tray of my bus, water does sit even tho there are drain holes, and things get dirty because of that... mold growth.

Any comments?

Thanks to all!
Matt

Hey Matt. There is or should be an upward lip all around that stops the water coming in the hatches so there is no need to worry about that and there should be a seal all round too on them which you can still get from Dormobile .

As above. Rebuilt mine a few years ago and all good.
