Gutter leak at splice seam

[john5646]

Ok, I’ve developed a mild drip coming from gutter at the splice. It is on front door side, front awning is below it. During a rain it will seep through and run down exterior surface only.
Due to the snap in screw cover caulking of channel were water flows i have already redone. However caulking further had caused snap trim to pop out over the winter. I replaced that yesterday. And I’m currently all cleaned up from that repair. And am back to factory conditions.
Any suggestions.

Had the same problem with my 2018 - 30 ' Hemisphere. Purchased proflex rv flexible sealant from Camping world. Easy to work with. Crystal clear and very flexible. Easy to apply with a calk gun. Made especially for this purpose. Used by FR at the plant. Dries within 30 minutes and will not crack from Sun or trailer flex. Made by Geocel in Elkart In.
Worked for me, Good luck !

Is that the same stuff they use around the windows and anything sealed on the outside?

I have the same drip issue except my seam is just left of the awning and on the farside runs down on the shore power cover.

Yes it is the same stuff they use around window seams.

I just read your post in that thread. After our trip next week I'm definitely going that route.

Thanks for the details
