Leak Problem - Event Date: 20 Sep 2017

That's encouraging.  I am glad that you don't have the problem and hope that most others don't either. BTW, have you resealed things, especially the spoiler?  In any case, our Pod has a factory installed spoiler, and I am not impressed.  It corresponds to the warpage that others have described.  This is not warpage of the entire spoiler but "warpage" on the vertical sides where the spoiler pulls away from the roof.  On mine, the gap couldn't be seen until I started to pry up the caulk.  It then became apparent that the caulk only seemed to be in place when actually it was not sticking to the roof.  Removing it showed a large gap above and below the middle screw.  I attempted to add another screw just between the bottom and the mid point screw to pull the spoiler down snug to the roof.  But there is no framing for it to bite into.  

Originally posted by lostagain For the recall kit for the older Pods that had the clearance light recall (see the archives for details), they used a very flexible spoiler that seems to be some kind of vinyl plastic... squishy not rigid.  On ours they put in about 30 screws to hold it down onto the roof and it did not sit snugly.  Initially, I put some caulk in the holes where the spoiler lifted up from the roof,  but later took it out and sealed the whole thing up with the roof tape product I mentioned earlier.  So signs of it coming up and it's starting into the second winter.   As for a different spoiler material on the newer Pods, I haven't a clue as I only saw my neighbor's new Pod for few minutes before he hauled it away for storage and I was admiring other features.  I still don't understand why they didn't put a simple 3 light fixture on the back on the new Pods.  Less leak risk and I really doubt the spoiler does much with wind turbulence behind the trailer.

When I was at the factory to pick up our 179 after repair, I asked about it. I was told that the spoiler definitely makes a difference as the turbulence before spoilers were installed could result in loss of the spare tire cover. I don't have the pre/post spoiler experience to verify this but perhaps someone who has experienced with both configurations can address that.

Glueguy's post on the Airtabs intrigues me. Anyone here tried these?

Th a is to this forum I think I saved my rpod. We just washed and waxed our 178 and looked at the back spoiled and there was a gap in the caulking so I ordered the tape that others had talked about on the forum and put it on today. After putting it on I was getting it ready to park for the winter and there was wasted coming out of the back of the camper. I hope it isn't any thing to serious.

Weve got two Damp Rid desiccants in our 179, both there for several weeks and both BONE DRY, yet water pooled on the kitchen counter behind our stove. Dry in the cupboard below and walls feel dry. Why aren’t the DampRids working? We’ve never had them not work before.
