I have a water leak under the front tv that I can't find the source for. Have resealed everything I can find on the roof and cap including all the side rails and the running lights. Only leaks when it rains hard. Anyone else out there experienced this? HELP

Hi cindog,
Does the leak happen when the coach is parked or when driving or both?

it appears to be only when parked. I have resealed everything, even checked the air conditioners seals, no luck.

cindog,

What make and model coach do you have?

Parked leaks are, for me, a bit more difficult to find. Consider looking at everything on the roof. Did you take apart roof add on's clean and reseal or just add more sealant to the component. When it rains hard, it is usually accompianed by wind. If you try to move roof components do any move?

This may take some time to find. If it is just under the TV, consider removing the running lights (I know you already sealed them) clean really good and reseal. TV antenna, Sat Dome, radio antennas, etc. are all guilty until proven innocent.

I suggest redoing the running lights because I resealed my running lights (very thoroughly and carelfully) because I had a leak where your leak is. The leak remained. Took it to the dealer and he resealed the running lights. The leak went away! I watched the tech do it. He did the same thing I had done. To this day, I do not now what I did wrong.
