My dealer said it was fixed but I guess not. Looks like some rust starting to show. I have sent this video to my dealer. Trying to make sure I document with pictures and video. Anything else I should do?

I would check your roof where the front cap meets the roof for bad sealant. I had a similar issue with our current fiver. I put Eternabond along the entire seam and then found another small leak where the side gutter ends at the front, again use some Eternabond and now all is dry. My water came on the side under the cap when I would lower the nose. Luckily no water damage has been found. Climb up on the roof and inspect every spot there is sealant.Good luck.

Yep that was done. Dealer discovered the skylight over shower was broke.

Another serious issue is the potential damage to the wood behind the skin due to it being saturated with water over a period of time. That also can create a mold (family health) issue.I would be very serious with dealer about getting that leak fixed ASAP. And then when they say it is fixed, I would make sure my unit is exposed to rain every time it rains. And then watch and make sure the leak is fixed. If the dealer drags this thing out, then I would be in direct contact with Jayco and request they either take it back to factory and handle or request them service it at a large nearby Jayco dealer.Another consideration is get educated on your states lemon law. Based upon that education, you may choose to go that route. Even mentioning it, in a professional way, may get your dealers attention.

The dealer has been very good to work with. They have documented the problems back in March and sent to Jayco. I have forwarded the video to the dealer late this afternoon & will talk with them Tuesday. Thanks.

Could a line be leaking slowly in the wall or the shower pan is leaking by some place and when you raise front end it starts to leak through, does your pump cycle on and off when switch is on? I would start with these two things and go from there.

I think it is a caulking issue on top of the front cap, but would be good to see a pic of the factory seam.

Not waiting 6 months. I have owned the camper for 6 months. July 1st to August 10 are our trips that we PLANNED 6 months ago. I have already talked to dealer and I am taking the unit to them July 6. They will take a look at it while I wait and document then I will leave it with them on August 10. Just need it back by Thanksgiving.

Thanks!
Sorry, I read it as going on vacation for 6 months, not a vacation that was planned six months ago:S
I'm going to echo the sentiment that this needs to be dealt with by the Manufacturer. Who knows what damage/decay/mold has been going on in there while it has been wet.
Certainly see what the dealer has to say as he has been pretty good so far, but unless he is going to pull roof and/or panels to check for damage he will NOT resolve the problem properly

I agree with others, send it back to Jayco! Your dealer will never give you the results that the manufacturer will. Contact Jayco now with video and documentation, they should work around your schedule.

Fwiw, I speak from experience.

I noticed in your video that you have a hose hooked to most likely the city water connection. Was it on? If it was I would be looking for a leak in the plumbing.

It also appears to me that depending on the angle your rig is parked the water is collecting and then drains when the angle is parked.

As already stated this is a mold problem waiting to happen.

If it were me I would be telling the dealer and manufacturer they can have the rig back.

Not a hose. Power cord. No water has been hooked to the 5th wheel since Memorial Day weekend trip.

Do you mean when hooking up the trailer to the truck, or when hooking up the water to the campground water supply. Either way I don't think I would be waiting 6 months to have it taken care of. 6 months from now they will say you caused additional damage by not having a known problem taken care of.

Hooking the trailer to the truck. Lifting the front jacks that is what the video is showing.

As others have said, DO NOT wait 6 months! Any consequential damage will be YOUR responsibility.

6 mo till you send it back? I see HUGE problems more on top of what you currently have my friend. Water running out from seems by itself or squeezed? NOT good! Like others have already said. What damage has already been done and MOLD!!! Contact Jayco directly, explain your problem/issue in a diplomatic way (don't get mad, raise voice etc) and about your upcoming trip. See if they can possibly offer you a sub unit or incl a stop to factory to have repaired (plan part of your 6 mo trip while there). Be flexible. If by chance that doesn't work, then either raise 7 kinds of Holy "H" w/ dealer/Jayco or get in touch w/ RV Action line (though this route may take some time for results).

Yep, fixed twice. No third strike and your out on that one. Factory fix or different trailer. Could not enjoy a vacation with that going on.
