Where is the water getting into the cabin?

Hi Steve -

It can be very difficult to track down the source of a leak. Have you tried squirting a hose at the port above the hanging locker? I'd try to rule that out before looking for other, more difficult sources. Another option would be to leave some Kleenex (or some other object that would show signs that it had been wet) on the shelf above the hanging locker.

My hatch (over the dinette) was leaking and the water would travel and not show up until it ran down to the stapled lower edge of the headliner behind the horizontal trim panels. It showed up as drips under the microwave. Invest in a non invasive (pinless) moisture meter and map the moisture trails back to the source.

Luck is the residue of good design.
