I am starting from a blank shell. Should I go through and reseal everything before I start with insulating and covering the walls. If so what do I use to do it with. I have been reading on here how bad it is to have a leak and what it will do yo your walls much less the hassle of taking down and replacing. This trailer is not new but been used little.

I would use Sikaflex. It's probably overkill but it's much better for it to be better than needed than not quite good enough in my experience. The first stuff I've used (more of a glue I think), the second sounds like what you need but either would work fine I would think.

Would you go over the entire shell. I can't tell if I have a leak or it is condensation.

I would just go over seams and any place a hole has been made for wiring or something like that. Sikaflex is more of a caulk than something you would coat everything with.
