I would say that most RV's leak sometime in their usable life. Where some are more prone to leak than others, just about all will leak.
Windows, slide outs, and anything on the roof will leak at some time or require maintenance. Anything that moves down the road a lot of time will have up and down and side to side issues that cause things to leak.
We have a class C and yes it has had 3 leaks other than the cab over. But each one of those has just occured once in over 3 years. Cannot determine what caused the leaks and haven't done anything about them. Also, this is a 13 year old class C.
As far as the cabover leak, we fixed that by caulking the running lights and we don't have a window in front.
I have often wondered if the leaks in the cabover are because that isn't supported vertically and instead it overhangs with just 2x4s for support. Driving on I40 causes a lot of bouncing, what does that do to the construction concept?
