Bad leak

Hi everyone!

Name’s Joe. So, as I’m sure many of you are aware, we’re getting a whole lot of rain in California lately. I have a RP-195 that I purchased a few years ago that is suffering from a nasty leak at the front of the trailer, where the roof curves down. I do check and maintain the roof on a regular basis and I don’t see any obvious places this could be coming from, except maybe the two small LED marker lights mounted on the front panel near the top of the trailer, or possibly the A/C unit, and the water is just making its way to the front? I realize leaks can be very difficult to troubleshoot, but if anyone has experienced a similar issue and has anything helpful to share, I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks.

Unable to upload pic at this time but I’ll try later. Thanks!

Hello Joe, and welcome. If you have a window on the front of your rpod, it may be the culprit as well.

When our 190 came from the factory the big front window leaked. I covered it with a piece of heavy plastic taped all around the top and sides till we brought it back to the dealer to repair. No problems since.

I completely agree with jato, check all seals, attachments points etc for possible leakage.

Good luck in your hunt for the leak and if possible, let us know what you find as this could help others in the future! (And we are a curious bunch as well)

Hi Joe. also check the joint between the walls and the roof. Water can travel sideways a long way so it can be very difficult to identify the leak location. A wood moisture meter might help. They're around $20 o  the Zon and elsewhere.
