I am bound and determined to get to the bottom of it and will now tear into that freaking light. I read nearly all of your posts on the rear lens. Feel free to duplicate if you deem it helpful. Here is a photo I took nearly seven years ago during my quest to find a solution. Also, observe the backside of the adjacent marker lights, they can provide an entry point as well. If it's still raining and hard enough, the leak will be obvious, if not, you'll need someone outside with a hose. This allows the water to run to either side, depending on which side of the trailer is lowest. From there, it runs around the frame and drips out the bottom corner of the window on the inside and runs down to the top of the belly band. This is below your level of sight from the upper cabinet. Wherever the water is entering it is running down the inside of the outer shell and then between the shells until it gets to the top of the window frame. Then you need to remove the inside cover over the light itself. This is no big deal, it's just sprayed with adhesive and pressed into place, it will go back up although you may need to respray it. In order to find the leak, you'll need to tear out all the insulation that's glued inside the upper rear cabinet. I'd bet a month's salary it's the high tail light leaking and it's unlikely you'll see a hole in the caulking from the outside. It took me three years, several trips to the factory and constantly blaming the wrong thing to find and finally fix the issue. There just shouldn't be this many issues with a four year old trailer of this caliber! Even the Penguin air conditioner sounds like a jet engine.is it really always going to be this LOUD? Help me out here folks! I'm getting discouraged. There's no leak I can see from the inside of the rear cupboard either! What the heck? This wasn't a cheap investment.I'm getting frustrated.whats it gonna be next? I never had this many issues so close together in 10 years of owning my Casita.and I also bought it used! As I lay here I'm watching water come down from the rear window and cross over the silver belly band trim and on to the other streetside bed! I went up on the ladder and the rear brake light doesn't seem to have a break in the caulking. I'm a little miffed that the fresh outlet is so small, that it takes forever to drain and there's no way to clean it! On my Casita, I installed a top marine deck plate so I could scrub it out! I had a party when I finally got this thing flowing.īut here's my next irritation! Now.unfortunately, the rain for the last two days has somehow soaked both mattresses & brand new bedding in the rear! I've thoroughly pipe cleaned all the weep holes days before this rain came. I did this with my Casita so I know to do it. I seem to keep coming across problems! Besides the city water slowly filling my fresh water tank, I've finally managed to get the fresh water outlet unplugged with two rounds of bleach solution, one round of vinegar and some compressed air! My trailer sat for awhile so I understood that algae/mold clogged the drain and pump prefilter. I've worked for a solid week on various issues/mods and am trying to learn all the systems in my new to me LE2.
