Had my 2017 Sundance 3100 CK 5th wheel parked in Florida for 3 months. When it came time to leave I raised the front end to get it on the hitch and had some water run out from where the bottom of the front cap attaches to overhang. Obviously the caulking in this area is bad, but at least it let the water drain out.
Since the unit was parked for 3 months I'm assuming the area where the front cap attaches to the roof is the issue. No way of knowing if any water damage has occurred under the cap, but no visible water damage on the inside of the front sliding door closet. I see others have had similar problem with this due to loose / stripped screws that attach the front cap to the roof.
Going to get a good look at it today but thought why not check all the screws and then use 4" wide Eternal Bond Tape to overlap and cover the entire seam. Then remove the old caulk along the bottom seam and re-caulk that.
Any thoughts on my idea?
