Ok, I know that you will have leaks that will not hurt! Thanks for info! I haven’t tried this yet

Check your window in your door. Leaking to the inside of door and running down the door and out the bottom.

Went to the Rockwood factory 3 weeks ago to check out some TT. The air thing is how they check every camper that comes off the line. Its the 2nd to last operation before it leaves the plant.
Although there system is a little more safistacated its the same concept and best way to find leaks.
Good luck.

GFAR did you ever find the leak? If not, check screws around Foote hinges. I watched “buying used RV” on YouTube. There were lots of tips to locate water damage. Good luck.

The good about it is that it will find all the leaks in the unit, cheaper than any repair if water continue to get in and you only find out after all is rotten.


In my case I found 2 major leaks on a less than 1 year old coach, on in the mirrors and the other in the awning wire feed.
I also found that every window leaked a lot so I fixed the seals around it.
I also had a leak in the awning wire feed on my 2016 Salem Hemisphere. The hole had never been caulked at the factory. Of course the leak was slow and didn’t show up until post warranty

Awning wire sounds like a good place to look for me as well!
