Rained here in Hot Spring BLM outside Yuma, AZ. Main slide water on our 2006 34' Gulfstream Endura model 6331 started pouring thru light fixture. Never did this in our year of ownership. Can't figure where exactly water is infiltrating slide? Found outside a section of awning's metal cap, ~ 14", leaking down on slide top. Took light fixture off and scraped ceiling material toward hole where light wires are and found areas above material all around to be saturated with water. Wondering if I should have awning removed and have top of slide sealed like one would do to a travel trailer? Any others out there have a problem as such? Does anyone know a reliable source in the Yuma, Az area to help with problem?
First, I'll try and caulk ~ leak around metal awning when rain stops before looking for additional help. Next I'll let it dry out. Desert weather is suppose to clear soon and the dry weather is coming according to our Weather app. Thank you up front to all responders. Tom and Janis Edelman (From Finger Lakes region of NY state)
