I have long claimed to be the Nova Champion of leaks on the forum
I have or rather had a leak as you described for two years. Several repair attempts were made, both out in the field, and in two trips to Nappanee. Finally, last year, the coach was taken to General RV in Orange Park Florida, where they slathered on about 4 inches of eternabond to seal the thing shut. That seems to have solved the problem. I follow Texas TC's advice and have a Seal Test done in the spring before we hit the road. I'll see if I can find the photos of the repair- it wasn't pretty, but it was effective. I also had several seal leaks in the slide out, plus leaks in the kitchen plumbing that were fixed within a week of purchase.... we've also had a pretty fair sized leak where the fittings became loose underneath the wardrobe in the bedroom- discovered that one with wet carpet... that is something we look at about once a month.. also had leaks around the fan unit at the entrance- that was done by technician who stepped on the fan housing and broke it when they were sealing the roof...... the last leak we had was into the control panels for the jacks, due to the factory silicone seal failing and the control panels got soaked, and the jacks weren't working properly- clue there was the rust spots on the carpeting in the storage bay- also we've had to readjust the gaskets in all of the cargo bays, due to leaks there.
Hoping our issues are behind us, we know about the year window for shaking all the bugs out of a coach, just had to have a little more patience with this one- still love the coach!
