So I thought I had my leak fixed and after some more rain today...... NOPE! So, the access door on the outside of the rig is vented. Do I neeeeed a roof vent? Can I add a fan to the back of the fridge to help vent? I have no idea how the hell Its still leaking. So, I wanna do away with it completely and then I KNOW its sealed. Thanks for any input!

In short, yes, you need the roof vent for the fridge.

Leaks can be tricky, sometimes they will travel a long way before they show themselves. You may just be looking in the wrong place.

Im going to take the antenna off as its also in the same area. Reseal all around it. Then if that doesnt work idk what to do....

I installed a new EPDM roof on my MH last month, while I had the old rubber off I made the decision to get rid of the TV antenna and the fridge vent, I blanked off both areas inside and out and renistalled the new EPDM roof. The antenna area was a constant leak problem and the firdge vent wasnt much better.

I removed the old fridge that was propane and electric and installed a smaller house type fridge thus the decision that I no longer needed the roof vent. I left the outside wall vent fully functional for venting and access to the back side of the fridge.
