Leak through TV Antenna
Finally I picked up my Shamrock (17 ft, 2005). I towed it through a hard rain from the store to my home (1 hour aprox.). I saw no evident leaks but after 1 hour parked, I checked again and detected water on the front cushions. Was hard to detect the leak, but finally I saw the TV Antenna lever and it was there!

What product is good to be applied in the roof to stop the leak? 
Thanks,
Pato

You may want to remove the antenna and see if any water got into the roof itself. While I have never had one apart, I imagine there would be an O-ring to seal the rotating parts. You could also reseal the roof base at that time.
However, if you aren't going to use the antenna. I would be tempted just to remove it and patch the hole. Problem solved!

Resealing the rim of the roof mount with Dicor will be the answer if it is leaking around the outside, which the picture would indicate. But it could be leaking through the mechanism, and that would be more work.

I just had the same issue - dealer tells me it is common - you have to remove the handle inside the trailer and tighten the antenna it will require one person on inside and one outside ---- this sounds like an annual job from what they are saying

i know you didn't know, but unfortunately, the OP lives in Chile. no Camping Worlds there yet. 
Patov6, you should put where you're from in your signature, so members won't post things that are not in your country.
many things that would be recommended would be available only in North America.

Actually I have an account in Camping World . Because I have an address in Miami, so I buy in the States and ask for shipping to FL. My other "hobby" is full built with american parts
The problem is that I can´t import liquids and chemicals by plane, but is good info because I can search for a similar product here.
Thanks!

Really, I don´t know. I took out the whole antenna, checked, oiled it and seal the roof with a product similar to silicone. Yesterday we had a rain and no water leaked inside,
