wonderabout Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Just found out I have the dreaded cabover leak, again! Guess I didn't do a very good job the first go around. I have to wait for things to thaw before doing any repairs and got to wondering what others have done to find the point(s) of entry. I see that RV places can pressurize the interior and coat the outside with a soap solution to find leaks, but I'm a do it yourselfer. I did find where one guy did it himself using fans, but that looked rather involved. http://www.class-c-motorhome-info-made-simple.com/leak_test.html So I was wondering if anyone has used or thought about using a water soluable UV dye and black light to find leaks. there are leak detection dye for sale like this https://www.amazon.com/Invisible-Blue-Reactive-Water-Dye/dp/B00KPF5A3M/ref=pd_lpo_60_tr_img_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=VSJ61DAPWKR60SZNA0NW thanks for any responses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunkaman Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 not an expert here, but a close visual inspection of all the usual suspect areas would be a logical start. i would pay particular attention to the wall/roof juncture, any vents, and any other areas where some thing is fastened to the roof. also, check for damaged or weather worn window rubber seals, loose caulking, etc. good luck. joe from dover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
