Sorry for the delay in responding.

The leak was coming from down the wall apparently from a window or awning mount.

I have it stopped (I hope) with clear silicone for now and will remove this and apply some of the good airstream stuff when it arrives in a day or two.

I think you will be very surprised at the difference...I towed a new 24' toy hauler last week. Keep in mind I have hauled a 29' Airstream around the USA for 17,000+ miles in the past couple of years and I just bought a 34'...When I got the toy hauler up to 65 mph on the interstate I honestly thought the brakes were locked up.

I took the next exit and coasted to the stoplight only to realize the brakes were fine, I was simply towing a square parachute!

Backing the toy hauler into a storage location was nerve wracking - all I could see was a huge white wall behind me. The Airstream's rounded corners lets me see much better.

The toy hauler cost 2X what I paid for my 'well used' 34' but in a year I bet the 34' is worth more than the toy hauler, even though it will probably not have been used for a single camping trip.

Robbie,
It might be cost effective to have someone do the Seal Tech leak detection on your unit. Many dealerships use this system and a few of our FORUM members have these machines and bring them to rallies. You'll know for sure where your leaks are.
