Summer is officially here. We have had our share of rain but today is sunny and warm. I have a problem with my 2005 hornet...The ceiling vent in the bathroom leaks after a rain. We put eternabond tape around the out side seam but that did not work. When it rains it leaks in the inside along the edge of the vent where it is attached to the ceiling by the screws. any thoughts on this?

You need to remove the inside trim from the vent and see where the water is coming from.
It may have a leak off to the side and the water is running down the ceiling to the vent opening.

Leaks don't always come from where you think they are! Get on your roof and do a complete inspection. If your camper is a little off level, figure out what the vent is downhill from!

As others have said: remove the inside trim, but then have some one spray water on the roof with a hose and you should find where it is leaking.
I used dicor on mine and it sealed it.
