Re: travel trailer leak

What panels? Do you have slide out sections or are you talking about the panels of aluminum "siding"?<br /><br />We just sealed all roof seams and edges with Valchem? polyurathane caulk, then coated the entire roof with the white seal coat, 2 coats.<br /><br />Then caulked all the windows and coated them. Then caulked most of the body panel seams. <br /><br />Then replaced the water damaged interior paneling, laid new subfloor, and finally a new vinyl floor ( white?? dumb).<br /><br />Not real pretty, but its 24 years old and permanently set up in the wilderness of Ontario.<br /><br />We also cover it with a tarp for the winter months, to prevent water from getting into any seams, and then forcing them open when the water freezes.
