Go Slow When Falling in Love with Cute Trailers!

[Penney H. & Mike E.]

The hole for the skylight is off center toward the kitchen side of the trailer. The inner layer of fiberglass starts at the low side of the vent, which is on the curve. The leak occured at that point, where the inner layer begins, a sort of seam. The result was water running down the curve into the cupboards. Does that all make sense? When I removed the old vent I could see the double layers.

Yep. I took mine off today (not fun since the previous owner decided to go overboard with silicone. . I'm just glad I read your horror story so it made me more weary of leaks.
