I have been a little concerned about the design of the bunk ends.
They tend to hold water on top of the bunk end near the trailer. Now there is a bit of water coming in there. Anyone else had this problem and exactly where is it coming in. Anyone recommend seam sealing the area?

My Terry Lite leaked at the overlap between the front and roof panels. I had to scrape off the old sealant and redo it. The trailer was less than 2 years old at the time.

I think have the same bunkend design (07 Dakota 190xp) and I thought water was coming in from the seam because of the standing water. After I caulked all around the ends I still had a small leak and eventually found that water was coming in around the outside marker light and following the wall right up to the top of the buckend. After the sealed the lights properly I haven't had any water.
We have the Terry Dakota and have not had any problem so far, but it is good to here where we should be looking for the leaks and maybe we should just go ahead and re-seal those areas. Sure wouldn't hurt!!

I have a 04 dakota 19' and spent quite a few nights in the rain.. Not one problem at all. However I always saw the little bit of sag in the top and wondered why it didn't leak.
