Mystery water leak
Hi, hoping I posted this in the correct forum.
I have been having a very intermittent leak in my trailer, underneath the jackknife sofa in the front. That is where the hot water tank is. Occasionally there is a few cups of water under there. I thought maybe it was the hot water tank, so I drained that and bypassed it. Had some water again after a few days. Thought maybe either the cold or hot water line was leaking in that area, right beside the hot water tank. I don't think they are leaking.
I last checked the trailer for water on Monday night, it was bone dry. Had heavy rain late Monday night, there was more water on the floor when I went out and checked again tonight (Thursday). Got up on the roof, and there is a crack in the caulking on the seam between the roof and the front of the trailer. It is on the front corner of the roof, roughly above the area where I am finding water on the floor.
Any chance I actually have a roof leak, and the water is coming in between the outside and inside walls, and dropping down onto the floor? And more important, what king of caulking do I need to buy to fill the crack on the roof? I assume I should not use regular silicone caulking.
Thanks a bunch!
