Is there something posted such as a HowTo for roof inspection and resealing? I know I would like to see one, I want my trailer to be leak free for as long as possible.
You may find videos on here or youtube. You are basically looking for cracks or missed areas. I would also look at all the windows and anything on the sides such as lights etc. I sealed around all my windows with geocell or proflex clear. I believe that is what it is called. Search on here as these fine people have talked about it. I had a leak at a slide window and found that they had missed the opening with the putty tape at the factory. I wasn't about to remove every window to see if they missed any others so I sealed around all of them.
There are also problems like my son had with a TT. They had gouged a small spot under the edge of the ac unit where you couldn't see it and over cut the epdm near one of the vents. When they Dicored it they missed about a 1/4 inch of that cut and the plywood got wet and started to pop up a little. It was much more extensive around the ac unit but had not gone down the walls or damaged the ceiling. They wanted $5,200 to fix it or $3,500 to do an open heart surgery cut from the front trim to the ac and scab in a piece of plywood. We did the same surgery and sealed it back up with dicor for $200. It's that or strip it.
