Re: RC: water-tight trailers

["Nancy Mitts" <mitts_n@hotmail.com>]

Diane,
Is the trailer aluminum or steel? Can you see daylight around the rivets? 
Get on top the trailer, is corrosion (either rust or the white
corrosion if aluminum) forming between the metal layers & pushing the seam 
apart?
The problem with riveted roofs is the rough roads cause so much flex & 
vibration the holes wear bigger & leak. If there is already a lot of damage 
you might need a new roof.
