After removing everything on the interior of mine and inspecting during rain storms to detect leaks, I never found one related to the roof gutter caps. I found many that were from poor window to body skin seal, vent cap and housing to roof skin,seams on the side between the composite caps and side sheets and the rear end cap removable portion around the rear picture window. Water will run along the inside of interior trim panels,wiring,cabinets etc. The only way to isolate leaks with certainty is to remove ALL overhead finish work and flow water on the exterior while waiting and watching on the inside then following the water "slug trail" to its starting point

I've done the blower/soap bubble leak test three times and can't seem to find a leak that finds it's way to the driver's side rear around the bath and bedroom and drips off the cabinet over my bed (not good). I have a 76 rear twin bed, side dry bath Royale. Has anyone had a leak they couldn't find and resorted to removing the gutter cap and found it? It's a long shot and a lot of work but I'm wondering if it might not be leaking in a way that no bubbles show up? I've researched the archives and only find gutter problems with 73s and 74s. Any other ideas would also be greatly appreciated.
