RV Repair: 5th Wheel Slide Out Leaking Water, roof sealer, 5th wheel


Question
We have a 2002 Layton 5th Wheel.  When we level the trailer and roll out the slide (manually) everything works fine until it rains.  Water begins leaking in the front corner of the slide out.  We immediately put the slide back in and no more problem.  How do we fix this?

Answer
When it is not raining, take a garden hose and have someone inside, and someone outside. Test a small section at a time. You should be able to tell where the leak is coming from and then just seal it with roof sealer or silicone after it dries. It might even be visible by having someone inside shine a flashlight in that area while someone outside is looking for light coming through.
You obviously have to try that at night with no other lights on in the area.
