Roof Leak Under Light Mod

It wouldn't hurt contacting forest river. They did a sloppy job caulking around all roof mounted accessories vents. Get a caulk gun, 100% silicon caulk, & a ladder. I have not had any leaks but have seen gaps in factory caulk upon inspection of my rpod. I have had numerous other TT and
Caulking was constant norm . RV,s of all types are flexing and bumping down the road so need continuous inspections.

ditto! That should fix the leak.

   I think that it could be possible for both rot and mold, it depends on how long it has been leaking and how much water entered the roof. I would remove any ceiling lights to allow any kind of ventilation that's possible. It would help if you can stick your finger through the hole in the ceiling where a light has been removed and check for moisture. Using a blow dryer to blow warm dry air into the opening could help. When our roof leaked in our Vibe these are things that I did to help in removing moisture.

Thanks to all of you for the ideas. I just checked and the water got down into the cargo compartment. I am drying out the compartment and the wall as best I can. The dealer and FR said the POD was not under warranty so they won't fix it. I pointed out that FR had done this work out of warranty in the past, but they would not budge. I checked the spoiler and it is made of a pliable plastic material. It appears to be screwed onto the roof around its edges about every 6-8". The upper top edge has cupped between the screws. I suspect water came through these raised cups where the caulking has probably also loosened. I may have to order another spoiler cover. I'll post my progress.

   I used the Eternabond tape on the roof of our Vibe it is basically the same as the r-pods, fiberglass. Make sure the surface is clean and no air pockets under tape. The tape is very sticky, once it touches the surface it is very difficult to move if not impossible. There are videos on the internet showing how to apply the tape, the manufacturer has one. As far as being used around AC do not think so, I believe a gasket is used there. I don't know how the tape could be applied under the AC where it meets the roof. Everyplace else it can be used if I remember correctly.
