Location: Perkiomenville, PA | Hi folks its me (again). Just finished today pulling out all the rotted paneling and insulation from a 2001 Eby living quarters I bought recently. Front corners both leaked. Before pulling it apart, I took it back to Eby and they recaulked the rivets and front corners pretty well. I also have some very subtle mildew on the bottom trim wood of one side sliding window, but I can't find any caulking failures there. So, my question - any clever ideas to help me avoid having this problem again? Anybody else have this problem? I had an Eby stock that leaked in the gooseneck, but I didn't care it wasn't finished. I have a friend with an Eby dressing room and he took it back for leaks. All ideas appreciated. Happy trails ~~~ |

Location: Phoenix AZ | I had a problem with leaks in the sleeping area of my gooseneck. I discovered that the drain "slits" on the outside frames of the windows were clogged, causing rain water to back up and spill into the trailer. Took a screw driver and cleaned out all of the dirt in the drains and problem fixed! |

Location: Perkiomenville, PA | Thanks! Agreed. That's why I bought it. Can't wreck an aluminum trailer too easy! |
