[a/s] Leaks,,,, :(



Hi,
Well, we just got our first good rain since we picked up our '71 Trade Wind
and sure 'nuff, got a leak!!  It is leaking from the ceiling in the front
from one of the upper most seams. It looks like it is running down the seam
length wise of the trailer from about the center roof vent. Probably have a
leak around one the  vents or maybe a seam in the skin  I haven't been able
to get up there to see what it looks like yet...  I wonder if this type of
leak is typical or common and if they are difficult to fix? I haven't been
able to find much specific to A/S leak repairs on the web.   I knew things
were going too smooth..  :)

any comments or tips would be welcomed, I have been following the thread on
the type and names of sealants, so I guess I I'm all set there.

Thanks in advance
Tim and Cindy
