Leaky roof on a 94 fleetwood flair
We recently took to the road with our young kids in a 1994 fleetwood flair. We didn't check our roof seals very well before they left town and we just went through our first big rain. After seeing so...

We had the same thing happen when we took off for 6 months om the road. Massive rain storm going to Myrtle Beach and we had to put buckets under the leak. The caulk along the entire front seam was cracked and gray. A roll of Eternabond and a couple of tubes of Dicor self leveling did the trick. Remove all the old cracked sealant, clean with paint thinner. You need to get a metal roller to get the tape stuck down good. You can also use the roller to flatten out the edges of the tape to fair it in. CW should have these hanging where you find the Dicor. Seal the edges of the tape with Dicor.
Don't use the self leveling lap sealant on vertical surfaces. Use the non-sagging Dicor or FlexSeal caulk.
On the inside, the Ozite ceiling material pulled away from the Luaun ceiling panels, so I cut a straight line across behind the effected area and removed the Ozite. Then I used high performance fabric adhesive. I did this a year after the leak so it was plenty dry. Let the adhesive become sticky before adhering the Ozite to the Luaun. Use wallpapering tools to smooth it out.
