Im going to go crazy with sikaflex sealing every seem I can find! Im just very picky and want it to look good with nice edges and smooth..
I thought AS didn't leak! Until now.

Anything as small as a trailer which isn't vented enough can have problems with condensation. I have a
1955 Spartan and all the original documents for these trailers go into great detail about how to counter that reality. Here in the South, the problems are increased do to the high humidity. Certainly the leaks need to be sealed but do remember if you don't have some air flow (open a vent) the condensation will be a constant problem.
I don't believe it's reasonable to expect a vintage trailer to be leak free after fifty years. Riding down the road can jostle the the panels loose. In fact, just sitting out in the weather can cause the aluminum to expand and contract enough to have a leak.
