Leak from windshield

That was our problem. Though we (nor the tech) could really see a "for sure" problem, the tech resealed the clearance lights and we haven't had a leak for the last 14,000 kilometers.

And here's the problem with leaks; they aren't always where you see them. Water stains on the ceiling may be from a leak 15 feet away. Water can run in mysterious ways.

A few years ago, I had a leak, thought it was the top of my window, but was also advised to check my lights and seal around them. Someone told me to go to West Marine and get a bottle of Captain Claxton's leak sealer. It is a small bottle, milky like substance, and works thru capillary action, finding the leaks as it goes and filling them; like soldering. I haven't had a problem since then. Safe travels.

You can also always seal off the coach tight with plastic, place a fan blowing out, and a smoke can around the outside of the coach. If it sucks into the coach, you know you have a potential leak.

We thought we had a front window leak. After a few sealings we discovered it was the dash lifting up. It was not glued or bolted down. It would allow water in when we were traveling down the road in the rain. I put sealant under the dash and put some one inch screws in. No more water leak.

No I haven't but will do that!
