I want to extend the J Channel right above the front bed so that when it rains while driving, the water will run off further from the sides of the bed. I have tried 2 different types of extension g...

Hybrids (especially older models, like my 2004) are well known for their capacity to leak. We were fully aware of that when we bought it in 2013. We gambled, and kinda lost... but we loooove our Antigua: floorplan, storage space, brightness (white cabinets), everything.
That's why I make sure I check regularly all the potential leaky spots. That's why I consulted with you guys to find out if there are other spots to check, that I would have missed.
As for the soft floor on the front part of the trailer, it has been worked on and reinforced in the past 2 years. We are not prepared to pay $2000-$3000 to have the whole floor redone the appropriate way (i.e. taking all the cabinets/furniture out, replacing the luan and Styrofoam, etc). Our next move, if things get worse, will be to simply add a sheet of plywood with the appropriate thickness - on top of what is currently there, and install new linoleum on top. There seems to be enough room to do that so that we can still open the cabinet doors, with minor adjustments. By the time we do that, if it lasts another 2-5 years, the trailer will have reached the end of its lifespan, in terms of resale value. But for now, I'll keep looking around for ways to find where the water comes in, and how to fix it.
Please keep your suggestions coming.
Happy camping
