2000 intrigue leak behind driverseat

Yahoo Message Number: 86867
This leak is in the corner slid next to the driverseat. Can not find the leak. I re caulked around the entire outer edge of the slide. Took the docking light off and resealed it. Removed the awning and re sealed outer slide edge. Any other place to look or any other suggestions to stop this leak would be appreciated.

I had a similar leak on my Inspire. I had the left front window reworked because of foggy windows. I then had the leak which I tried to find just like you. Taped the window on the outside for a test. No leak. The final discovery was when the window was reworked the sealant used was too thin. Had the window reworked at a different shop (RV FOG Dr) and problem solved. Very hard to find. The single glazed window that slides needs a thicker sealant because the frame thickness is the same but the glass is single pane.
Good luck

Bob,

If you remove the pleated thingy behind the driver's seat you can see down behind the slide. There is a trough there that catches water and dumps it to the outside. This trough comes "unbonded" from the wall allowing water to run out into the coach. When you see it, it will be obvious as to the fix. Just reseal the trough and that will take care of the leak. If you are close to Eugene, OR, Carrier & Sons is an expert in this repair. Been there, done that.
