I am looking for info on how to drop the curbside overhead cabinets above the dinette in my 78 Royal center kitchen. I do not see any mounting screws or hardware and want to drop them so I can lower the roof panel in an effort to find my huge leak. Any idea how these are mounted?
As a side note, I have been chasing a huge water leak for a long time. As soon as I hit the area above the passenger seat with a hose it literally pours inside the coach. I have taped off certain areas and around the passenger window trying to find the leak without success. I sealed the body seam along the roof line and now believe it is either a window seal or a roof seam that is leaking. There is nothing visible so I thought that if I can get a peek under the ceiling panel I might be able to see where it is coming in. I may just try removing the plastic panel above the cockpit area instead. Anyone care to chime in? We have not been able to use the coach for 2 years now chasing this leak.
Thanks

What I have seen done at rallies is to put a high CFM squirrel cage blower
in the tool booth window and seal up all the openings like roof vents and
AC's. Then take a spray bottle with detergent mixture and spray all the
seams on the roof. From what I have heard it is quite effective at
determining where your coach is leaking today. Next week, who knows? Look
at your bat wing antenna as well as your clearance lights and radio
antennae and the lap seam on the front cap where the plastic front cap
meets the aluminum roof. All known to leak. Also the roof AC has a sponge
rubber seal that surrounds the 14" x 14" roof opening. All known leakers.
Hope this helps pinpoint it.

Thanks! I think I will try the blower test before tearing apart the coach.
