Water leaking

Has anyone else had a problem with water leaking in around ramp door? We have a 2016 Stealth SS1913 and much to our dismay found when it rained the wind was blowing the water around the ramp door. GRRR.

I can see day light coming through the upper right hand side of my ramp door. Have figured out yet what to do.

I don't have that type of rig but my neighbor did and had that problem we installed soft car door weather strip around the ramp and it solved the water and greatly limited the dust problem.

I haven't noticed any leaks around the ramp door, but both of my entry doors leaked.

Evidently the guy running the power tool to install the screws didn't know when to let off the trigger, both doors had screws sheared off so the frame wasn't getting sucked up against the butyl tape.

Thumbs up

We went to a local rv dealer and picked up some D seal tape to install around the ramp door. Hoping to solve the water leakage issue. Thanks for the replies .

Right about now I am not a happy camper. After installing weather stripping around the ramp door......still a leak coming from some other source. Even found rain coming through the bolts on the ramp door. The over hang on the ramp door doesn't appear to be preventing the rain from coming in. Anybody have an annoying problem like this. Maybe we purrchased a LEMON!
