All the drains seem to be routed properly and draining to the ocean
How would water come into the trailer during the winter...any common areas. Should I have covered this to protect the water from coming in at the hinges. I jacked it up all the way on the tonge so the roof would drain and not freeze any fitting there. I think I may have allowed water to come in the joints that way...any thoughts on this?

Found the reason. Seem on the front where it meets the floor. Looks like it got some water in there and when it froze in the winter just split it along the seem and soaked up like a sponge. To make matter worse, I jacked the trailer all the way up to keep the water running off the roof to prevent damage up there, should have jacked it all the way down.
What should I do to get rid of the rest of the water? I was considering opening up the membrane and blowing some air through it from one and to the other and then resealing it, but haven't figured that out yet and I'm also fearful of the effect that would have on the value. Should I be attacking this from the outside or just close it up and run the AC and keep drawing up the moisture from the inside? I may stop by the dealer to see what they think!
I also have a problem with the floor. I have a 1999 Aero Cub 16'. I loaned it to my son and the bottom of the floor on the outside is bubbling. It has a sheet of alum. coving the plywood and it is corrosive. Not all over but in some areas. How do I repair this damage. I was thinking of using the rubber Mobil home coating for the box stores. I don't know what will work. Any help out there?
