Hi fellow Rvers
I’m continuing my quest for a class A and have found one but has a small leak , any ideas where the leak is coming from, the roof has been redone and it’s on the side where the slide is but above see pictures. Any tips to fix thanks
In an RV roof, there is no such thing as a "Small" leak, especially if it's been left for awhile, they may have replaced the roof, but looking at those photos, i'd say it has major ceiling damage, not to mention the distinct possibility of mold.
You're looking at a major chore, that soft touch ceiling would need to be replaced, at least in the 2 sections on either side of that strip, to my knowledge it's not even made anymore, so going with FRP would be a better & easier material, plus you'd have to replace the Luan plywood under it, and then you'll have to see what the block foam insulation looks like.
Plus, in photo #2, in the circle, above the right side of the slide out, the side wall paper, is wrinkled, which would indicate damage there as well. The molding below the joint strip looks rotted as well.
There may be much more also that can't be seen in these 2 photos, plus as mentioned earlier you don't know what kind of job they did around that AC.
All in All, a major PITA, regardless of what kind of deal you think you're getting, personally, I'd put that money into one that I could be using rather than spending all my time working on.
