We have had are 356RLT about 1 year now and before the trip we are currently on I noticed one of the bedroom lights was flickering. Didn't pay to much attention to it but while we were down in South Carolina, it started raining pretty hard and when I went into the Bedroom there was water dripping out of the light. This light had a lot of film on the lense and a few other lights have some debrie also, I'm trying to get on top today to look where it could be leaking. We are currently on our vacation and DW is worried about what is all wet up there. Have an appointment setup for when we return. We just keep finding issues, Gas/Elec frig set at 9 and temps in upper 40;s low 50's, got to Myrtle Beach and Head Board was laying on the bed, 2 screws holding head board up. With the water leak, does anyone know what type of insulation is above there, if things are wet or have been wet could there be mold. The light where the water came out must be the low spot but I would think the entire ceiling would have gotten wet. we do store it inside a 14 x 48 storage unit when not in use so that would have helped.
Thanks

You need to get up on top NOW! Water will destroy the RV quickly, so find the source and repair before the next rain. The ceiling probably has fiberglass insulation that will hold water for a long time. Take down the lamp and any other fixtures in the area to ventilate, if you can direct a fan into an opening the water may dry up quicker. Waiting for a dealer is not a good game plan.
My leak was the incorrectly installed TV antenna, had to completely remove and start over.

Thanks Check the roof area around the antenna & A/C for bad seal. The 4 door Norcolds 2118 is an easy fix, the flap doesn't close correctly, 5 minutes and 10-15 cents. link |

I did get on top and everything looks ok, hard to look under the AC, but around the antenna and everything else looks good. For the frig, we make sure the flapper is closed, but still yesterday morning it was 52 in the frig, set on 9 running on elec. Talked to one dealer in Myrtle Beach that sell KZ, but don't do warranty work which seemed a little odd.
Thanks

My antenna looked perfect, but the caulking did not adhere and could be rolled back like a carpet.
Check for blockage behind the fridge using a flashlight and mirror, I had fiberglass insulation scraps preventing air flow. Check the installation manual, KZ did not add the baffles as required.
