Lightbulb Roof

I own a 1995 Excella Classic. I was wondering... Do the roof on airstreams eventually leak? Should the roof be sealed?

The seams do work a little as the aluminum expands and contracts so, yes, eventually you may need to reseal the seams. It is annoying but simple: tape off both sides of the seam with blue painter's tape, apply the sealant, smooth, remove tape.
