I have a 5th wheel, that I built a press board enclosure under the
front, and plywood siding around the bottom for the Winter.

I have 2x4's running the length and width of the 5th wheel, nailed
with concrete nails into asphalt, then the press board and plywood
screwed into the 2x4's where they meet the asphalt.

It looks good, but I'm on an incline and water (rain) just flows under
the 5th wheel, this of course isn't good for the wood and I need a way
to block the flow.

I started with bricks, bought enough lay one course on a concrete
fence pad close to the structure; but a bit of forethought, that's not
going to work and I have piles of bricks I need to return.

Latest strategy, I'm thinking of using flashing and an asphalt/wood
adhesive (FlashMate) to glue and seal the asphalt and wood, blocking
the water flow and channel it elsewhere. flashing position - L

I've googled a lot and have read and reread the masonry books I got
from the library, - and asphalt seems hard to find anything that will
bond with it, so bricks and mortar seem out. I'd rather not work with
a hot glue, and do this myself.

Would anybody have any advise on how I could stop the water flow?
Would the flashing work, a good adhesive, another idea, I'm open .

Thanks.

Why does it matter if water got under it ??? If your're worried about the
tires , block it up so the tires aren't on the ground...The only thing I can
think of to help you if you really want the water kept out is have the
asphalt guys come and do you a curb for a foundation and run your sheathing
down over it like you would a slab...Hope I helped...Good Luck...

I'm thinking you could take a saw, cut a slot in the asphalt, and stick
a long piece of flashing in it uphill of the wood. Then bend the
flashing over the wood like you're sheathing a door frame or something,
then finally fill the slot (that now has flashing in it) with asphalt
crack sealer. Would be semi-permanent, but should work.

Whether it would help you or not, I can't say, but you may want to
consider an epoxy. Many systems are known to be compatible with
asphalt, and are much used for highway projects. Good luck.

The wood would rot.

This is a DYI job: as cheap as I can get it done.

Thanks tho for the reply.

That's a pretty decent idea, and would work.

Yep, got a neighbor that is a flagger for a construction crew. I'm
trying to find out what they use to stick the reflectors in the middle
of the roads

Thanks as well.

I'm pretty sure it's a mixture of radioactive waste and fluoride. Trace
amounts of Aunt Jemima's pancake syrup as a stabilizer.

It is super cheap epoxy... Market is too competitive to use the good
epoxy stuff, so it is the low ball, low end stuff and it often fails...

I live in an area that for the last 20 years and the next 30 years,
Are cleaning up the old WWII reactors, where the "just bury it" was
the answer to "what's this"?

Your answer while said in jest. could be a reality, the glassifacation
project could churn out a glass adhesive with less radioactivity than
an antitank round.

It would have to be glass or something not needing a porous surface,
as the areas prepared for the reflectors are very smooth, so nothing I
could use.

But thank you for your input
