OK, we are starting to use the coach a little more this summer. This past weekend was the first time that we were out camping in a serious rainstorm. The time has come to stop procrastinating! While I have made some feeble attempts at leak control, I'll admit most of my leak control to date has consisted of a few strategically placed buckets.
I keep hearing that it is impossible to stop ALL the leaks. I can accept that, but MY GOODNESS MAN, it has to be able to get better than it is now! If not, I might be lured to the dark side in a SOB. I was taking shelter in a 1991 travel trailer that was staying dryer than the GMC was! (and my wife was in the GMC with three pre-teen girls on a church campout). Wife not happy camper!!
So I have procured a squirrel cage blower. What I do not have and cannot find is the tubing to get the air into a window.

Do I really need that or can I just set the blower on a ladder next to the window?
What do I need to seal for the pressure test? refrigerator vents, dash a/c vents, plumbing vents, what about the fans in the bathroom and living room?
I currently have the rear headliner out. I have seen some pictures of people using drain tubing to go from the gutter through the floor. I would like to do that. But I am having a very hard time getting a drill square to make a hole up there. Do I need a right angle drill bit? It does not seem like there is enough width to get a 3/8" pipe thread in there. If it matters I have a 78. Did the gutters get any skinnier in the later years?
I know I have some holes were I moved clearance lights that are currently just duct taped over. I will start with putting some real sealant in those holes. But I need to figure out a way to do the pressure test, and to get some drain hoses installed in this, or else.
