Is this a fiberglass or metal sided trailer? I know there are some on here that say it is impossible for water to leak through the seams of the interlocking metal siding, but I have seen it with my own eyes. I spent three years trying to track down a leak in my 19' Terry. One day I couldn't take it anymore so I pulled the mirror in the bathroom off and cut a big hole in the wall, pulled out the insulation and saw a steady stream of water coming from the back of one of the seams. If there is dirt/crud in the seam or if it is bowed out a bit due to old staples coming loose you can get a capillary draw that will pull water through those seams. I used some OSI Quad down the length of the seam and no more leak. If I had it to do again I think I'd use some clear Dyanflex 230 because it is much easier to work with and holds up very well. Both are available at home depot.
