I have a 2008 Jayco 22FB. After camping over the 4th I noticed water on the floor by the bedroom window after a rain. After getting it home I sprayed the window with the hose and noticed water leaking between the wall and floor under the window. My dealer is 90 miles away so I called to talk about me looking at it before taking it to them. They had no problem with that at all.
It's the emergency window that is leaking. I know you take the window out by removing the inside screws and I see it has foam on the outside. Does it have silicone or some other sealer besides the foam? I just want to know how it's all sealed before removing the window.

There is a putty type tape that is suppose to be used when installing the window. Maybe you can get the dealer to send you the materials and you can perform the repair? This is the way I would prefer to do it anyway.
Good Luck

I don't think mine was an emergency window, but something to check? Some dimwit put one of our windows in upside down and the drain holes were in the top. If I remember right the emergency windows are sealed so this may be irrelevant.

If I were you I would go as fast as I can and let the dealer fix it. If you fix it and you find wall dammage later they could blame you. It's under warranty so do yourself right and let them handle it.

Some windows have an applied gasket -similar to weatherstripping- glued to the window assembly.
Ours had two windows where the gasket was not properly aligned and did not seal at the window corner.
I just removed the window, loosened and repositioned the gasket and applied contact cement to keep it there before reinstalling the window. Easier than towing it down to the dealer and I know it got done right because I did it myself.

This is exactly what the problem was. The gasket at the top right corner was not in the correct position and very little if any touched the side of the trailer. I repositioned, put the window back in and ran water over it two different times and neither time showed any leaks. It leaked very easily before when I ran water over it. I feel it's fixed and I'll keep an eye on it after the next few rain showers we have.

If I had taken it to the dealer I would've spend $150 in fuel because I would have had to take it, leave it, and then pick it up, plus it would have wasted two Saturdays. Doing it myself took 1/2 hour, that's it.
