So nice to hear of so many of you out and about . I'll be getting a late start this year as I need the truck for other duty . This spring I have been chasing an off again on again leak .At first I attributed it to condensation but it would happen sometimes even when not in use . Think I narrowed it down to the rear roof vent . After scrapping off the caulking I found some rivets that were never seated tight . After removing the rivets and vent I could see where the foam tape that Avion used in joints was compromised on one corner .It was probably OK until the outer caulking started to break down ( 49 years ). Haven't tested it yet , I may do the front vent while it's dry and in the shop .
Another area to look at is the aluminum angle trim around the front and bottom of the tub . I noticed a gap between the trim and skin . In the process of removing the trim I discovered they were held on with aluminum nails that looked like rivets , on several the only thing left was part of the head . I re-installed with Trempro caulk and screws.
Always something :)
