2015 Passport GT 2810BH

This spring we noticed two of our ceiling seam covers had loosened over the winter. The one closest to the A/C and the short one at the left bedroom doorway.

We paid little attention to the root cause and used wood glue to reattach.

This past weekend we camped in the rain. We had water coming in the closed/locked top bunk window as well as at the seam by the A/C.

This spring we had a 10-12 inch wet snow in mid-April. The camper was not yet summerized however it was outside. We are now wondering if the weight of that snow jeopardized the integrity of our roof? Could that excess weight have caused the two seams to release?

Camper at local dealership for complete inspection. They are unable to get to it until August 14.

Any suggestions on areas for us to look to see if the have weigh related damage? There doesn’t appear to be any noticeable damage but we aren’t confident we know what we are looking for.

First off, the ceiling trim and vent garnish rings have nothing to do with water penetration. The ceiling could be completely removed and the coach should be considered water tight.

Any water intrusion begins from failure of the roof sealant, a break in the roof membrane, or a crack/break in a roof top structure (ie vent cover, skylight, ac shroud, antenna base). It can also be from a window seal for various reasons.

The roof seem at the front cap and marker lights are notorious for sealant failures. Anywhere the roof membrane is penetrated is also suspicious for sealant failures.

Since you coach is already dropped off, you wont be able to do a normal roof inspection, that should occur at regular intervals throughout the year. The dealer will do this inspection and most likely find the area of intrusion. Hopefully it will be any easy fix without any significant water damage.

We picked up the camper from the dealership. We’ve found a few areas that look like this. This should have a sealant applied?

It's hard to discern but is that a splice in the membrane along the edge?
