Water dripping by pinbox from molding/screw where cap meets underneath

Am sorry if this isn't in right area, but as title suggests, I noticed water dripping here and yet it's dry from outer edge to pinbox. Any suggestions?

Is your AC running? I had some dripping in that area until I added some additional caulk where the rain gutter spouts attach to the gutters
Do you have washer prep in the front closet? Maybe a leak there

travelin2,

Raining, but no A/C. No W/D as that would be in the big hallway slide. Didn't see any water coming from front of cap towards the inbox. Other side was dry.

Maybe the insulation in the front cap has fallen off and condensation is forming if it’s cool & wet outdoors while you have heat on inside?
This was how the insulation in our front cap looked after a few years of travel and before I replaced it with wool

I know the small amber clearance lights on the cap on my last rig were leaking. The rain was getting via one of the cut outs for the light. Had to seal them with RTV.

Took these of course when it wasn't raining yesterday, but ya get the idea of where I'm talking about

Not raining and still dripping?
I’m going to reiterate it’s condensation on the inside of the front cap if you’ve no water source close to the front cap area
Are you positive that new roof you had installed is not leaking where it meets the cap?

I would be climbing up on roof and inspecting the new sprayed roof to the cap. Maybe seam has separated or cracked. If you didn’t have this issue before the new roof then I would have concerns.

Sorry Rhodes, I did take the pics when it was not raining and not dripping, but just wanted to show y'all where it was when it was dripping. I'm off tmrw and will be wrapping up getting it ready for storage so will climb up onto roof and take a gander at things.

rhodies1,

I climbed up onto roof yesterday to take a look at things. Overall, didn't see any issue with the new roof seams at cap/roof mating area. Did see tho where the factory chaulking where sidewall and cap meet and the (correct name escapes me) plastic trim wasn't 100% so it could be possible that water was getting in there then running down inside it and coming out at pinbox. (???).

On a side note, the roof was installed in early July and have to say it was still clean as a whistle (except where I just walked across it w/ dirty sneaks) and don't see any black streaks!!! I'm happy!!!!

Glad to hear it’s doesn’t appear to be the roof and you may have found the culprit
