[A/S] Leaks

["Lewis Leistikow" <LewLei@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

A fellow and his wife from up north (Delaware/NJ or ?? - somewhere 
around that neck of the woods) visit TR around Christmas for two or 
three weeks.  He is in Sales for an RV dealership - I think 
Airstream.  Anyway, he recently told how his dealership handles 
leaks.  They close up all windows and doors and tape off the vent 
over the range.  Then at an opening like a window, they seal a 
blower that puts a slight positive pressure on the interior of the 
trailer.  From there, the techs spray soap suds on all the seams, 
etc and look for bubbles.  Simple and about foolproof.  

I've seen trailers that had every seam, roof vent, sky light, and AC 
recaulked only to keep leaking.  He claims that this method works 
every time, the first time.

Thought it was good enough an idea to pass along.  Maybe your 
favorite dealership would like to copy it.

Lew . . . (with a few leaks of my own, but I'm pretty sure they are 
coming from a sloppy job of mounting/sealing my solar panels. - - 
working on it myself).
