So my wife said she found a little bit of rusty water inside the TT, right inside the door. I noticed it was dripping down between the inner wall and the head pad above the door. Further inspection showed that water was dripping between the far wall plywood and the door frame. I would immediately think that the top of the door frame wasn't sealed anymore but it looks to be in great shape and sealed tight to the fiberglass. That leads me to think that it's the roof or where the awning is connected. There is an edge of the roof that looks suspect - but I was told to not really worry about that because there's butyl tape under the metal edge. It's right along the edge of the roof, where it wraps down to the fiberglass sides. There's a metal strip over the top of that, it looks like it was sealed with sealer but has popped out all the way around. No matter what, when I can get it to a dry place I think I should clean and seal that edge all the way around. Do you think it is what is leaking?
What's the smart way to go about this? Pull the door frame out?
Really makes me nervous about other places leaking as well behind the wall. How does one non-intrusively look? Is the only way to pull the inner wall panels?
