Oh no...a leak?

Hi!
On the way home from our home dealer to get (what we thought) was the last of the warranty work done on our 2015 24-R, I noticed this above the toilet by the exhaust fan. The area does not feel wet or any differently than the area just to the right of the seam. Anyone else have an issue like this?

Thank you,
Mary Ann

Almost looks like humidity drops, I'd wipe with bleach and water mixed and test it with water hose on roof. Should give you a good idea.

Do You have a maxx air vent cover over it? Can't tell by your Avatar. If not could be just some rain water getting in when open. That is what it looks like to me being that it is on the frame only.

It's not a leak, just mold mildew from the high humidity in the shower. Just wipe it down with some good mold/mildew cleaner and your good to go. It's funny how you look at it, when it shows up on your awning, you just deal with it by cleaning, in the bathroom a whole other set of suggestions arise.

A big thanks to all of you who wrote to me. We didn't believe it was a leak, and I am happy most of you believe the same. I will try the mold/mildew cleaner. We spent almost three solid months traveling in it this summer, so I guess at least two showers a day caused the issue. I will know what to watch for in the future.

Agree that the fan in the bathroom is noisy and useless! Our dealer just replaced our awning....had little pin holes....so hopefully it'll be a while before we have to clean it!
