Mystery water leak
Hi, hoping I posted this in the correct forum. I have been having a very intermittent leak in my trailer, underneath the jackknife sofa in the front. That is where the hot water tank is. Occasionally there is a few cups of water under there. I thought maybe it was the hot water tank, so I drained that and bypassed it. Had some water again after a few days. Thought maybe either the cold or hot water line was leaking in that area, right beside the hot water tank. I don't think they are leaking. I last checked the trailer for water on Monday night, it was bone dry. Had heavy rain late Monday night, there was more water on the floor when I went out and checked again tonight (Thursday). Got up on the roof, and there is a crack in the caulking on the seam between the roof and the front of the trailer. It is on the front corner of the roof, roughly above the area where I am finding water on the floor. Any chance I actually have a roof leak, and the water is coming in between the outside and inside walls, and dropping down onto the floor? And more important, what king of caulking do I need to buy to fill the crack on the roof? I assume I should not use regular silicone caulking. Thanks a bunch!748Views0likes1CommentRe: Having trouble with my right blinker
I did check the connections behind the tail lamp, they were ok. Made new connectons anyway. I guess off to the store to get some 14ga wire. I will for sure make sure the new connection and wire works before I fish the wire. Thanks for the help! I am glad to know I will have this fixed before our 3 week vacation out East in July!275Views0likes0CommentsRe: Having trouble with my right blinker
Thanks for the replies so far, here is what i have found so far. I followed the trailer connector to where it disappears into a black junction box. Turns out the bown wire is the right turn/brake, the red wire is the left turn/brake, green is the taillights. Yellow is nothing. So I have power to the brown/brown junction, where the brown wire disappears into the floor. Where it exits at the taillamp, there is no power. So I am guessing there is a break in the brown wire at some point where it is buried in the trailer. Would it be a lot of work to unearth this wire, or would running a fresh wire back to the tallight be okay? Thanks again!276Views0likes0CommentsHaving trouble with my right blinker
Hi, I have been trying to figure out why the right blinker doesn't work on my Mallard. The left blinker does, as do the running lights. Changed the bulb, nothing. Cleaned the connector, nothing. Checked the right blinker wire with a test light, no power. Checked the connector on the truck, no problems there. This morning, i cut away some of the rubber sheath on the connector that plugs into the truck. With the turn signal on left, it shows no power to the yellow wire which is for the left blinker. But the left blinker works. And the green wire shows power. When I have the right blinker on, the green wire shows power, yet the right blinker doesn't work! I know the green wire in the connector is supposed to be for the right turn/brake signal, and the yellow wire is supposed to be for the left turn/brake signal. Any chance the connector was wired up improperly from the factory? Or coud the yellow wire be for the right signal, and the green for the left? Thanks to anyone that can help, I am just trying to fix this on my own before I have to drag the trailer away to be fixed.1.5KViews0likes9CommentsRe: What Ontario parks in 2013 is everyone planing on going to
