I've been following this post and have the same problem. 28ft four winds with cabover leaks from both front corners. Resealed the roof and lights and still leaked. Removed caulk and used eternabond and reduced the leaks by 50%. Been trying to figure this out all winter and notice my back window leaks. Caulked and fixed the problem. But then saw mold on the inside of the cabover side windows. Cleaned mold and caulk windows yesterday. When I park this RV, it's tilted forward which I assume collects water from the window and does not drain the water to the outside. Waiting to see this weekends rain if I fix the problem.

While I think I have the cabover leak undercontrol, it's yet to be tested in the enormous rains we had the first of January. I've received a number of very good ideas from RV'ers. If you look at the pictures, it will not show...but I have resealed the outside trim where the sidewall meets the floor...I think CloudDriver had a leak there...and I've resealed the trimwork underneath the cabover...the dark trim that I was told you could take out and check the screws...I have put clear ProFlex over that area. There have been numerous suggestions to have a pressure test for leaks conducted. I've searched and found no one in East Texas who is qualified to conduct such a test. Several emails to companies who advertise this service have gone unsnswered. I haven't ruled out a home remedy...We had a little rain the other day...no sign of water...I'll keep this post updated as I move along. All ideas and comments are welcome...chime in anytime!

Enormous rains with you RV parked will not be the ultimate test. Driving it down the road at 55 MPH in enormous rains will be!
