Argosy 28

Hello, I’m new to owning my Argosy, can someone please tell me if it’s possible to have a leak on the inside from the bottom trim molding? I have a leak in the front on the inside where the antenna is located, and the very back on the inside , and just beyond the battery box. I have tremco-d all the windows, have not re-done the roof vents, the A/C gasket is like new and secure , can’t find the leak. I presume the water is collecting in the C-channels and spilling over inside onto plywood floor. Please help. , thank you!! Brian D

Rivets and exterior seams can leak too. I had several buck rivets that were leaking. My interior skins were off so I removed and replaced. You can tremco any that look suspicious. Caulk and then clean up the rivets with mineral spirits like you did the windows. Caulk any and everything. Your camper is long overdo.

I bought 5/16 d shaped foam rubber from a local supply shop 5 years ago. I bought a whole box so I could replace window/ hatch and maybe door seals. Vintage trailer supply is a good place to start.
