I've been skimming through old messages and I haven't found a good answer so far (LOTS of messages....).
I need to look for leaks as there are water stains all over the headliner of my "new" coach.
I would appreciate advice on how to proceed, especially as my coach does not have a ladder.
Here are what seem to be the possible approaches:
-Buy and install a ladder and start removing old caulk/filler/goo, then redo caulking/fills (and if so, should I get original/OEM ladder or aftermarket?)
-Rip out headliner entirely, throw some water on top and wait for leaks, then patch/add goop from inside
-Take it to an RV place (but I've heard they will just want to cover the whole roof with rubber?)
I don't care about the appearance of ladder, so I'm not opposed to it, though I know some seem to prefer the look without. I'm OK with not having a storage pod up there but I'm seeing the advantages of having that extra storage.
I'm 60 and def not as flexible/agile as I used to be, but willing to give it a go up there if I can kind of crawl around - not good at walking around on roofs.
thanks guys
