We finally have seen some rain in the PNW, and I have a leak in the 97 Eagle - but only when the top is down! This camper is new to us this season.
As near as I can determine, there is seepage on the driver's side between the tent windows, coming down the outside of the tent, meaning, the tent is sealed to the roof, but not to the roof trim.
This then wicks through the window velcro, ending up with a little puddle on top of the stove cover.
When the top is up, there is no leakage! So this doesn't seem urgent for wrapping up our season here, but I want to fix it of course.
I've tightened the trim screws in the area - about a 1/16th turn was all they took - with no change.
Seems to me I have two choices:
Dry it in the garage, then goop it with some sealant that an experienced forum member recommends,
or,
Apply some RV roof repair tape. Not a pretty job, but it would match what the previous owner did on the other side. And that stuff sure seals!
Ideas or recommendations?
