OBI Dweller Review and Discussion

[marmotguy]

yes, I have this too. I resealed it twice and it still has a very small leak. It might be at the hinge where the screws go through the roof. I need to take it completely off and reseal all the holes I think. Anyone know how to remove the skylight? I’m guessing the plastic frame inside needs to come off first but I don’t see where. I don’t want to force anything and break it. It’s not easy to get parts for these trailers. I had to order a replacement doorhandle Directly from AussieTraveler in Australia.

Has anyone experienced leaks in the skylight? Mine drips in heavy rain .. from the grille at the corner of the skylight ... by the on/off switch... I've been up on the roof to inspect... tried pouring on some self-levelling goop I got off amazon ... the drip moved from one corner of the vent to the other! I'm perplexed. Any good solutions to this?

The interior frame comes off by popping off the LED plastic covers and unscrewing the two screws on either side of the LED strips, total of 8 screws. Then you have access to the brackets that hold the vent on.
When I installed mine there was a continuous bead of caulk that I had to apply to form an "interior" seal. This was in addition to all the exterior sealant I applied. I wonder if perhaps this seal is something that people may be having trouble with because I'm sure over time (shipping, etc.), this seal becomes dry or may not have even been applied correctly. Just something you'll probably have to reapply when you reassemble it.
