I'm hoping someone here has experienced the issues that I have been struggling with for some time and has some ideas for me. I've had a roof leak in the front cap which leaks down onto the dash since the coach was new. I've had 3 seal tek tests so far and a lot of sealing done but the leak remains. It all looks sealed to me but it goes back for a 4th seal tek test this week. Also, the jacks down indicator comes on almost everytime the vehicle is started whether the jacks are down or not. This after returning the coach and having it checked out 4 times. The dealers haven't been able to resolve these problems so far and I would appreciagte any help I can get. Does anyone have any ideas?

Is your MH out of warranty? Do you have an extended warranty? When the seal test was done did you see were the bubbles were coming out on the exterior of the MH? At the cap seam or running lights up on top?


ESC's will NOT fix water leaks. Need to know brand of Jacks. Usually when you have a CAP leak and it leaks onto the dash, it comes from the clearance lights or any other item(Antenna/spotlight) that is mounted on the fiberglass cap forward of the roof seam. 3 Seal Tec tests?????? I would bet they do not know how to run the Seal Tec machine. The machine is incredible for finding leaks. The ONLY time it may be difficult is IF the leak/gap is so large, it fails to blow bubbles.

If that motorhome is not out of warranty be sure to contact Itasca and get the warranty for the given problems extended since you've been having this issue. If you have to fight for it, fight for it... They shouldn't just be able to "not resolve it" and let the warranty run out.
4 whopping cylinders on Toyota RV's. Talk about great getting good MPG. Also I have a very light foot on the pedal. I followed some MPG advice on Livingpress.com and I now get 22 MPG! Not bad for a home on wheels.

Take a ride to Forest City Iowa, might be worth the trouble.

I will try Good Sam. There have been multiple dealers involved in the roof leak.

Take your RV to a different RV Repair facility. You might give Good Sam a call and see if by chance they have any recommendations of good RV Repair facilities or call customer service of the mfg. of your RV.
