Rainy Days and Leaks. YIKES!

Tuesday November 10 2009 by Leland.

After Topeka I traveled on to another COE lake called Perry Lake  and found myself alone again.  Wow, is it ever peaceful this way.  BTW, when you see these blue underlined words, you can click on them to get some more info from a website. 

As you can see in the photo, it was cloudy and sure enough it rained.  I love the sound of rain on the roof of the RV.  The only issue here was that pretty soon I was hearing dripping in the shower.  ??  Investigation showed water dripping from the skylight.  I pulled the inside trim of the sky light to see where it was coming from and found it looked like just one place on the back outside edge.  Up on the roof and sure enough, there was a little dirt/silt spot on the caulking.  This is almost always the sign of where the water went in.  I hurridly dried the area with a hair dryer while under a pancho and put new caulking all around that area and then, just to be sure did the whole sky light perimeter.  Thankfully it continued to rain outside and stopped inside so I got it!  I left it opened up all night and no more drips.
