We are staying just outside of Atlanta and had a big thunder storm last night. We have been in many other storms just as bad in our ‘22 Classic but this time we had a large water leak on the rear door side corner, soaking our bed and a little of the storage area below. I found that I had inadvertently pinched down the little flexible gutters at the top of the dormer so the rain water could run down the side of the roof instead of away from the wall. I had done this on both sides but only got water on the door side. The water was running in near the spring. Cloud this have been just the gutter or should I be lookin harder something else?
Thanks,

I don't know about Aliner dormers, but for leak fixing in general, get out the hose and sprinkle the side of the trailer that leaks, so you can figure out where the water is coming from.? The water will cling to the lower side of the roof edge, and splatter right into the corner.? Any gap in there will leak a lot.

If one side leaks and the other doesn't, compare sides and see if there's a piece of weatherstripping that fell off.? Another good test is at night, shine a light from the outside, and have someone on the inside see if the light comes through.

Corners are notorious for leaking.? Many people have to add more weatherstripping.? The rectangular hollow tubular stuff works best, since it compresses easier.? Get some from an auto parts store.

The adhesive on the back of the weatherstripping doesn't last that long.? Get some Permatex Weatherstripping Ahdesive and glue the weatherstripping back on if need be.? That stuff lasts a good long time.

I had a leak on the driver’s side in a storm the other night. My DW had pinched the flexible gutter so that the water ran directly onto the window frame. Jim also responded that he had a problem with the gutter because it was left short from the factory and causing a leak. ?I’m calling this mystery solved! Thank you all.

I really, really like it when members report back the resolution to their reported problems. I learn a lot by following along the problem/resolution of others. Thank you
