Leaks from antenna
I have a winguard sat dish and bat wing. With these Florida rains I now have a wet wife when we stop. I did run the bat wing up and down, and now the condensation drips from the crank. Also water comes in the sat wires. Do these have seals that go bad with time. They are both19 years old.
Thanks
Wayne

Offhand, I would say you will need to go up on the roof and have a close look at the seals around those devices. When was the last time the roof was re-sealed?

I had the same issue the other day with water from the condensate where the antenna goes thru the roof leaking into the barth. I knew it was that as it was under a carport cover.

So, I was wondering how one seals the Barth roof? I know it does not have those rubber or whatever covers like newer and conventional RVs. Mine has been under cover for at least 7 years but is sitting out now because my RV docking station at my son's house has a muddy trail to the street and I pulled it out in case Issac starts making eves at me.

Jim and Tere wrote a nice step by step thread on roof sealing with pictures. I don't have the link to it handy, but it shouldn't be hard to find.
