Leaks, and more leaks
Is it just my bad luck or a nature of the beast? Seems anymore all I do is chase leaks in my trailer. So much that I even built my own seal-tech machine to pressurize the cabin and and spray the outside with soap.
First was the front gutter extension leaking behind the drip edge into the front closet, next was a leaky window frame, then the caulking (which looks very much like factory applied silicone) leaking along the top of the slide out bulb seal, and just recently the rear gutter extension leaking in the exact same place the front did. I'm almost wondering if covering the trailer in the winter pulled down on the gutter extensions enough to break the old caulking seal?
Is it brand related? I know the Zinger brand ain't no Newmar! Miles of driving on poor roads? My friend has a 10 year old KZ that has never leaked. It doesn't move much however as it's at a permanent site. Or am I just over cautious checking?
I guess the good thing is I've become proficient with a caulk gun! Also I've been a ProFlex user for a long time until recently when my local shop didn't have any. The tech recommended OSI Quad from Lowe's. Much easier to work with and half the cost.
Just had to vent!
