I've been told they have stopped the leak to prevent further ingress of water while we work things out with the manufacturer. Seems like at this point it would just be understanding the extent of what got wet, confirming any mold issues or not, drying out and possibly replacing damaged insulation. It is aluminum siding over a wood frame, with fiberglass insulation and paneling/wallpaper inside.
PS, I did homework on manufacturers and maintenance as I had heard some horror stories. Big lesson learned is not to let the trailer sit at a repair center for an extended period of time while they wait on parts/haggle warranty. Believe I would have caught this sooner if the trailer had been in my possession.
Generally seemed like most manufacturers were lackluster on warranty & service claims. Best feedback seems to be on Winnebago which was not in my budget. Even they get complaints.
Almost all brands give a maintenance clause on checking seals every 90 days with the exception of Winnebago which warranties that for 1 year.
I am refraining from listing manufacturer and dealer as this is still an open question. I still have some hope of this being covered by warranty. Once it is resolved I will post a review.
