Hi again. In heavy rains we are getting water leaking into the rig from above the door. It is coming in above the door frame in between the interior wall and the seam of the door frame. Have checked and added caulking to the porch light and the door frame outside on spec. Both had caulking on them. Water still dripping in. Any thoughts on other common points that should be inspected? The only thing I can see above the door frame is the rain gutter and awning track?
 
Check higher up at the gutter line. The gutter is screwed to the wall and the leak may enter there and just exit at the door. Otherwise, I would pull the door out and redo the butyl tape seal, reinstall and recaulk.
 
As an update …….. adding caulking to the porch light, top of door frame, and the trim/gutter. No more water!! That said we haven’t run into another IDA yet with the winds and driving rain. Fingers crossed! Thanks for the replies!! Great community.
