Roof Leak

   I was washing our R-Pod 189 down for winter storage last month and I also noticed the sealant was cracked around the radio antenna.  When I pressed on the sealant there was water oozing out.  I am not sure if it seeped all the way through but I cleaned off the old sealant, dried the area out with a hair drier and put new Dicor self leveling down.  It is an area I will watch closely in the future.  There seems to be a bit of play on the antenna unit is you give it a gentle shake so I am wondering if this contributes to the sealant cracking in this area.  Has anyone tried using Eternabond tape around the antenna unit?

	The sealant around the radio/TV antenna on our 2018 179 cracked and let water seep in. The water worked it's way down the pantry press board. After a week with heat, its dried out, but the wood has swelled. Check the sealant on the roof. The white sealant Forest River used cracked. I hope this helps someone avoid our mess. Duncan
