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 ~~~

Buy something other than an Eby! Plenty of other well made trailers out there that do not leak!!!

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!

Too late.  And, I knew it had the leaks when I bought it.  I can fix it and I saved maybe $15,000 ... worth fixing!

If it's made out of metal, your trailer can be fixed and sealed. It's just a matter of finding the leak (s)

Thanks!  Agreed.  That's why I bought it.  Can't wreck an aluminum trailer too easy!
