My roof has water damage. While stored beside my house, some water has slowing leaked into the roof over time. Damage seems minor, except for the interior plastic that is glued to the ceiling. This plastic has peeled over time. I am wondering if I will have to replace the whole roof. I have never found the leak, and at one point I had the whole roof re-caulked by an RV dealer/repair. I have camped in some pretty serious rainstorms with no sign of any leaks, but when stored over winter, water gets in just enough to loosen the interior.
Any suggestions or advice?

I would have a pressure leak performed on it first. The test will show any and all leaks then you can determine just what your dealing with. The test at a dealer used to cost $100.00 to $150.00 but that was many years ago. Probably there are a You Tube that would show you how to perform the test your self..good luck

The only way to tell is to open the area and see.

Doug, are you talking about the popup tent trailer in your sig? If so does do you know if the dealer removed and sealed the marker lights? Also are you making sure that the interior is dry before you store it away?
