I just bought a 2005 29ft fbs jayco jay flight. it is tripping water around the antenna. has anyone had this problem and know what I need to do to fix the problem.

It would be really helpful if you told us what make / model of antenna you have and just where you think this leak is occurring - along the shaft itself that runs into and below the trailer roof or in the caulking around the base of the antenna. :@ That said, considering this is a 2005 trailer my guess is you have a Winegard Sensar III and if that's the case the quad ring within the elevating shaft should be lubricated at least twice a year to prevent the rubber from becoming brittle and therefore allowing leaks down the shaft. My bet this has never been done and if so it's no wonder it leaks. :E Details on how to do this are contained in the Winegard Sensar owner's manual.

Welcome to the Forum.

Do this NOW before you have even more damage and problems from a leak.

Climb up on the roof and reseal around the base of the antenna. Use Dicor or Proflex self leveling sealant.

While you are up there carefully inspect all seams and openings for any more signs of seal failures.

Good luck and enjoy your Jayco.
