This summer I bought a well used 2001 Hawk. Been working on mods, i.e. to fit my truck and some interior mods I have now found out I have roof leaks. I was out of town in November and it rained quite a bit (Southern California) while I was gone. Stored outside with top down. When I raised the top I was surprised to see a lot of water pooling inside at the front passenger side at the upper bed.
I went ahead and cleaned all of the sealant at the exterior seal around the front area and on the side a bit. Today, more rain and still water inside. I was thinking of a few areas. One was the solar cable entry box or "gland". I removed it today and all was dry under the unit and it appeared the cables were not allowing water to enter. I re-sealed it and now am wondering where else it could be leaking from:
The 2" velcro is wet at the front corner from the side of the camper about 6-8 inches and then across the front maybe 18" on the passenger side. I have solar and I took the screws out that mount to the roof, squeezed some caulking in there and resealed. I also put caulking around the screws at the front of the rood (not all, just the front.
As stated above, I also removed previous loose caulking and replaced with Silaprene.
Any thoughts? I know water issues are the hardest to find. My camper is stored on a dolly I made and it's slanted a bit down hill so the water could travel but it seems I'd see evidence if it started toward the rear.
