Several months after I bought the MH I noticed a small wet spot underneath the front corner of the mattress in the cabover. A visit to an RV shop showed a leak where the rubber roof met the cabover. $250 later fixed the leak. The tech pointed to a bow in the righthand side exterior panel underneath the cabover and said that is where the water is collecting. He said to remove this screw (see below) and let it drain. It wept water from the hole for over 3 weeks. Since then I've had the roof replaced and no longer have a cabover leak, but I haven't put back that screw. I guess I could take a gutter tip and fashion a scupper drain cover over it, but I figure it would only attract spiders to nest it in. It's been over a 2 years now and it will stay that way.
