Leaks galore
I bought a new to me TT that is in really great shape and had very few areas of de-lamination. I noticed that the dealer the folks I bought it from who they got the unit from a year ago, went over it ...

DANG.....How do you know so much about leak testing and Sealtech ?
I test mine about every year using a blower. Part of that is influenced by the type of roof I have, a roll-seamed aluminum roof. The previous owners slathered all types of sealants to stop leaks--caulk, RTV silicone, asphaltic roof patch, etc. I removed all of that and replaced it with Eternabond tapes. My annual leak testing has turned up no leakages where the Eternabond has been applied. I sometimes find a leak through the siding but Geocel tripolymer sealant has eliminated all of those.
Believe me, when I restored the Starcraft I did extensive sealing in those areas where I thought water intrusion might be a problem, I probably used 10 tubes of elastomeric sealant between siding and frame, frame to roof, and any other joint accessible. I still had two dozen small leaks. Those leaks were uncovered by the pressure test.
