Water leaks!

Any idea's of how to pressurize a trailer for a proper water test. I have seen the intake fans they use at the dealership, but don't have the 4K to spend on one. Anyone set up fans? compressed air? Any idea's?

Easiest, rent a floor drier/blower. Set it up on a ladder to a window since that's easier to seal. Remember to block off the furnace, cover floor heat and ceiling A/C vents and range hood vent. Use your roof vent to exhaust excess pressure - start with just cracked.

Or you can go to SealTech's website, to find a dealer or RV shop that do the test with equipment designed for this purpose.
Last time I checked, it only cost around $100.

Not in these parts. Positive pressure test via those with SealTech's pump is $250 minimum.
