I have developed a water leak on the RR corner of my 2008 3055RL Bighorn. When we have either a hard rain or a long rain, my floor in the corner of the trailer gets wet. I examined the roof area to see if I could see any places needing caulking between the rear cap and the rubber roof or around the gutter in the corner. Everything appeared ok including the caulking between the rear cap and the fiberglass siding.
I did find what appears to be a problem with the small vertical window between the Entertainment slide and the rear of the trailer. Initially I found the drain holes had clogged up beneath the window. Using compressed air and water I cleaned them out. However, when it rains more directly on the window, even though the water seems to be draining ok, water will apparently flow under the window and up over the divider between the window track into the screen track. There does not seem to be a drain for the screen track, so once it is full, the water then flows over and down the inside of the trailer wall wetting the floor.
If anyone has had any similar problems, I’d be interested in knowing what you did to solve the problem. We are in Tampa, FL and the rainy season is about to start and I need to get this problem fixed before any real damage occurs to the trailer.
