With rv repair, it depends on who performs the repair. I have seen 18 yr olds assigned to jobs that deserved a more qualified mechanic with experience. Work fast, get the job finished and move the unit out of a needed bay is the name of the game.
Do you know if the OEM build used a vacuum bonded filon method ? If it was then your TT should have been returned to the factory for repair.
If the first repair was made by your dealer and NOT the factory (under warranty), then maybe the dealer rolled the filon in place which is a less expensive mode of repair. Vacuum bonded units are usually factory performed due to expensive equipment.
One other thing i forgot to mention when you were checking the roof seams for cracked caulk did you overlook the clearance lights.
They use the cheapest lights on the market and they leak.
I'm pretty sure it was vacuum bonded as I recall them telling us the original problem was a pin hole leak in the vacuum process. And I know they did not send it back to the factory.
