leaking thru the light fixtures

[swamperk]

anybody has this problem when its rains water comes thru both light fixtures,do i remove the vents with the wood under the vents and cork it back and hope it does not leak again or do i put flex tape around the bottom?

I would pull the vents and wood. Clean off the old and re-caulk.

what is the best caulk to use?

Also take a good hard look at the center seam on the roof. I had a leak in the vents, turned out to be water getting into that center seam.

We did this about 3 yrs ago there might pictures somewhere on the forum, (we lapsed for a year) we replaced all wood frames and used i think euro bond seal Tape. We are still having issues.

We also had a center seam leak leading to dripping from the curbside light fixture over the couch (we have a slide). We used silicone to seal the entire seam after pulling off the seam cover and cleaning the area. We've had several hard rains since then and no more leaking.

We chose the silicone after reading a discussion of sealant options here

as well as discussions on other RV sites. There could be better options than silicone, I'm not an expert in this area.

Good luck!

if the boards are wood,replace them with pvc boards. I use a natural curing caulk. most big box stores sell some type acid or base curing caulk because DIY'er want a fast cure time.

You can also glue the ends together with the standard pvc tubing glue, same type used for sprinkler system tubing.
