2013 Leprechaun water leak problems
My wife and I bought a new 2013 Leprechaun 317SA that we like a lot except we have very bad water leak issue in it. The front cap on our unit, and apparently on a lot of 2013 Leprechauns, was mounted...

Goldwing - Eternabond is CRAZY sticky and adheres well to almost anything. The sticky layer is also self healing, so even a cut or puncture can be sealed by running your finger or a roller over it.
Eternabond basically comes in three flavors.
One is a replacement for the cheap, double sided foam. You stick it on and peel off the protective backing. It will now glue things together and seal water tight.
Another is backed with a gloss white layer. That is typically used for sealing a roof and can stand exposure to the elements for many years.
The kind I recommended is basically a fabric covered version. The tape is rolled on and then you paint it to match your rig. I have not used it myself, but paint is supposed to stick really well. So you could put on the tape, hit it with a layer of primer and cover with a paint that closely matches your RV. You could always risk the $50 or so dollars to buy a roll and do some test painting to see what kind of results you get.
Man .... this kind of thing is why I jumped in and rebuilt the rotted out cabover in the "cheap" 1983 I bought. A nice class C is just so darned expensive and I would be livid to go through your experience. Rainy season is just about here in my neck of the woods. I hope you find a good solution quickly.
