Discovered a leak, where is it coming from?
My floor cracked a few winters back. Decided to fix it and pulling the old linoleum I found a leak in the back corner I wasn't aware of. It's wet even with the trailer sitting since labor day weekend ...

Thanks all. And Larry I keep an eye on that area as for the reason you mentioned it just looks less than ideal.when up there looking things over.
The problem with that area is that you can't tell visually if it's still sealed good since water can over time channel between the caulk and roof and then wick onto the wood soaking it and then running down the entire corner of the trailer. Pictures of the entire height of the corners in more than just a few trailers here have shown this issue and until the damage is visible it most often goes undetected.
As already mentioned lights and wicking screws are two other weak points and you can look thru the link in my signature for all various way that I have attempted to solve all these potential weak areas on a trailer. Because Eternabond is good for submerged use that is what I tried in most cases to use along with the Marine grade 3M adhesive/sealant 4000 and 5000 series.
