Mysterious Leak!

Our 2007 Rockwood has developed a mysterious leak. When it rains, water is getting in on the bedside table on the right side of the bed. We cannot figure out where the water is coming from. The cabinet above is dry, the window above the bed is dry, the window beside the bed is dry. There is no water at the ceiling nor at the vent above the bed. Anyone have any ideas?
  • Maybe out the electrical outlet.. That was where mine came from once.
    Water from above traveled down the wiring and out on the table.
    Good Luck
  • Is there anywhere near the wet area that you can get inside the wall to see if its wet and if its running down the wall?
    I had wet carpet, very wet and no sign of a leak anywhere. I opened up a cabinet near the floor and it was wet inside ( under the entertinment center ) worked my way up removing wallboard ( all hidden in cabinets ) worked my way all the way to the ceiling and it was a loose pex fitting. I tightened it up and leak is gone.

    Good luck
  • Check and or caulk around the window close to leak. Had a neighbor with a leak like this and we caulked even though it looked OK. No problem since. Water is a funny and hard to find source of a leak so just do all you can to eliminate any potential problems by checking and doing extras where there could be a problem even if it does not look like it may be a source.

  • Do you have any outside lights around the area (Marker lights, clearance lights, etc)Check and caulk those if so
  • Our old 2007 Rockwood did the same thing, but water was accumulating because the weep holes were gunked up. Used a paper clip to clean them out and no more water.
  • Great suggestions! We will try them all. It's so weird because no place is getting wet except the top of the nightstand!!! It's frustrating!!
  • Just a reminder that water is much like a woman.
    Goes whereverer it wants.
  • Stop guessing!!!

    On the next dry day get your ladder, a water hose, and a helper and find the leak!! Go over every square inch of the trailer until you find it. The rain setting on the nozzle works great!!

    You may be surprised how easy it is to find!!
