Took pics of roof Maybe this is causing the leaks??

I had a similar situation on my previous trailer. A small leak on the front left side of the trailer. I pulled the caulking off the screw heads and they were rusted. That means water is getting in. I pulled all the caulking off the retainer bar and removed all the screws. I was then able to pull up the edge of the front wrap around and see the damp wood. Nothing was rotted beyond a small section that only went a centimeter deep. I cleaned all that out, propped it so it stayed open for a couple of days, and let it dry out. I put the whole back together with new screws and covered it with Eternabond tape. No more leak. And when I traded the trailer the dealer didn't bat an eyelash.

Sounds like im gonna have to do a full roof inspection and check everything on the trailer. thanks again yall

I fixed leaks on two different trailers, both leaked at the screws that held the awning in place. Hope this might help.

Sure, that area that is missing caulk could be the cause of your leak. Then again, when water enters a structure it can travel along any framing members from above and exit in the interior in a different location.

I have a lot of time invested in my rig so I do a pressurized leak test every year. It is easy to do and i have a squirrel cage blower that is just right for the pressures needed. IIRC, the commercial Sealtech testing is around $100 but may be a bit more. I do know that an undiscovered leak that's allowed to continue and cause framing damage is a LOT more.

Thanks Y'all im gonna get some dico or take it to the shop down the road and see how much for them to redo the seems and windowws etc.

Also check the sealant around your windows.

Those cracks are typical of how caulking fails over time and requires re-caulking every few years.

See, it is possible to answer your question without sending you to a shop :R

Not that a leak test is a bad idea, but it is to find leaks you DON'T see ;)

X2. I don't care whether they're leaking or not. You should always seal up cracks and holes in your roof.

Before wasting time and money on maybies, find a shop that can do a sealtest. Pay them the hundred or so dollars and know for sure.

Can't quite tell if the pics are at the joint where the front cap meets the membrane, but on my 5er I have been applying Dicor lap sealant just about each year because of the separation that seems to occur because of the shifting and movement of the different surfaces.
