Roof Maybe Leaking - Event Date: 02 Feb 2016

   We have had lots of rain here recently in South Florida, and have our trailer in an outdoor storage lot. W have some water damage in the left, back, inside corner, behind the Queen mattress. It is on the plywood decking and wall. . We have a 2014 R-Pod 178.
I'm wondering if the caulking at the seam on the roof between the roof and the sides needs to be replaced or infilled. I do see some small cracks in the caulking in places. I don't think it is the rear window, as the seal around the window looks good. Does anyone have any experience in recaulking this roof seam? 
I worry that it may be more of a project than I want to start.

Thanks

	It's pretty much impossible to say, without being there, where it might be leaking, you will need to test it with a hose. As far as repair, once the bad spot is found, clean all the old sealant out, and away, then reseal. It's important to note silicone based caulk will stick to nearly everything on the planet.. except itself. Checking, keeping track of, and replacing as needed the seals and caulk around a TT is fact of life..

	Thanks Furpod, Good idea about testing with a hose. I have the Dicor self-leveling Lap Sealant I plan to use.

	You might also check the ac as well. That is the place of my leak.
