My trailer started leaking water into the weekender package I just put in it last summer. A puddle of water pooled up behind the sink on the countertop next to the gooseneck drop. You can see the water beading up and dripping onto the counter through the wood striping that runs around the counter. The floor of the gooseneck is wet. It is a 05 Hawk trailer. I silicon caulked the intire seam at the roof. The water is still coming in. No water in my tanks. I checked the seal around the airconditioner and TV antena, put plastic over outside speakers. It is still coming in. I have no idea where the water is getting in at. Dueto snow storms so can not get it to a shop. I am down to rapping the intire front of the trailer in plastic drops. Has anyone had a leak like this coming into the conversion ???? HELP !!!!

Check your awning. sometimes the rivets or screws used to secure awning to trailer, break through. Rivets are good at popping through and causing a leak

We have trouble by the door and up by the bed on the same side as door. Had new seal put in around air conditioner. It has to be a wierd rain for this to happen. Hubby caulked but still getting the wet once in a while. Will have him check the awning. Irritateing isn't it?

The more I look at the leak that happen after a big rain storm I am now thinking my failure to cover up the outside speaker my have been the problem. The two outside speakers where facing the vertical driving rain I covered they up after that. The leak has stoped and it is drying out and am thinking I learned a big lesson. Cover the outside speakers !!! Not 100% this was the leak but think it is logical. T
