H2s are water-tight for the most part. H3s will leak. I have both 2 & 3 so no bashing stems from this post.

I'm on my 2nd 3 and I've only had the most minor of leakeage and that was due to having dirt in between my door seal and body. When my seals are clean, they've never leaked a drop. The h3's doors are triple sealed for reason, so as long as you keep them clean you should be fine

Wasn't the beer or the pee

The H3 door seals don't keep the water out. Granted it comes in slow enough to drive through water for a short period, but they "will" leak. The H2 seals seem to do better.

Wheres the captain when you need him? There was a thread about a year ago from the "Captain of the Titanic" talking about how he got stuck with water half way up the door on one side and about the water coming in the cab. Of course no pics were produced and his story seemed to keep changing, but I would not bet money on your doors being water tight.

Found it; http://www.elcovaforums.com/forums/s...ad.php?t=19608

Of course, I have enjoyed going through some deep puddles (close to grill level) and have had no problems with leakage.
