Enough Rain

With all this rain recently, a new leak developed on the left rear of the RV. It was eventually stopped, temporarily with a plastic sheet tied over the roof. Hard to go down the road like that, but it's not easy to repair when it's raining. Add to that that we've all been sick recently, especially the roof repair crew, me. And then there was the time doing the "stupid" taxes. Anyway, today we had enough of a no rain window to do the fix. The problem was one of four possible seals, most likely the seal between the side and end-cap. So out with old and in with the new. There also was the possibility that it was a recurrence of the leak in the same area from before. This was the seal between the rubber roof and the end-cap. There was a questionable spot there so it was sealed as well. And then, it could have also been coming in around the clearance light or the water filler door frame. So many possibilities!
I've been resealing things a piece at a time. I may have to speed up the process. The right side of the roof and the right rear vertical seal are now moved to the top of the list, when the rain stops.
We may finally hit the road again. We intend to go to Tulare for the Antique Farm Equipment Show again this year. We'll be there Friday night so we can get an early start at the show Saturday morning. We'll then head toward Chico for the Spring Escapade. We have to get the RV in between 8am and 1 pm Sunday. This is getting too complex!
