4 weeks into our full time journey and we got some good rain in the ozarks.....we found a good size puddle of water inside the basin of the cap window. Walls not wet on sides or bottom.
Since we are not going to be anywhere our original dealer, ( not that I would be comfortable taking it to them for help anyways), ANYBODY else have this happen and what was your solution.
Will be stopping by a camping world on way to florida to pick up a replacement propane regulator, ( the sight glass blew off our second day at this camp),,,,will post anything that they come up with next week.

Welcome to the forum from South Carolina. Add the camper model in your "signature", so it is with every post. That would have to be a heck of a wind in camp to blow a sight glass off, a pressure gauge I'm assuming.

 rodo, This won't fix your problem but will help to minimize the problem in the future. I bought this stick rain gutter roll for $37 on Amazon. I installed above every window and vent. Hopefully you can zoom in on my picture and see the gutter. I think it came in a 40ft roll plenty to do all your windows and then some. It's white and blends in really good. The the gutter will help push the rain water to the side as a 1st line of defense.  www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09W9M44R3/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 |

We had the same issue, found out when we were in Estes park, used my shop vac and removed the water. Since it was still under warranty our dealer removed and resealed the window. Heading south next week , will give an update if it is fixed.

My Sonic dealer told me that those front windows are know to leak. I never did like the front window.

We had the same issue. Ours was caused by excessive condensation and no way for the resulting puddle to get out. Resolved the issue by installing a dehumidifier.

I think the front windshield was a bad idea on any TV. Nothing but leaks and a chance for a road debris to hit it.

After our repair, we had the camper in our driveway prepping for the trip, snow, rain, melting snow and rain heading south. Our front window is still dry.

I bought these vinyl rain gutter stick on trim. It comes in a roll and it's about1" wide looks like a "J" so when you stick it on above a window or whatever the helps to push the water away so it just doesn't run down your windows or vents.
