Water leak at ceiling light

[morris44]

I have a 04 Dolphin M/H, and when it rained a water drip started from the ceiling light near the refrigerator. Removal of the light revealed water seeping from the insulation and was following wiring from the roof mounted solar panel. I made a trip upon the roof to examine the area around the solar panel; I cut away the caulking from the edge of the panel and noted water under the panel. I removed the panel, and the surface of the roof, under the panel, was covered with hundreds of small cracks. After cleaning the cracked area I sealed it with a rubber sealant and that has stopped the leak. I have no idea what caused the cracks; and a thorough exam of the roof revealed no other cracks.

Yep, several of us NRV owners have experienced the same leak, followed your process, leak stopped.


The panel was long gone, I now use portable panels in the windows to keep the batteries charged when not using the coach.
