We have a 2017 TAG Max XL. We have about 20,000 miles on it. We are in Scott’s Bluff Nebraska right now about 1/6 of the way through a 6 week journey. We have developed a serious leak around both doors. If you have been following the weather, you can understand why sleeping in a water logged trailer for 5 weeks in this part of the country now is putting a serious hurt on our vacation.

We have been through some horrific weather so far but everything was dry inside throughout it all. But we drove over a literal tank trap in the parking lot of Wendy’s in McCook Kansas which almost shook our teeth out. We then drove through snow/rain/fog/sleet to here. When we opened up our trailer, you could do the backstroke inside. Were the two events related? Who knows but I am never eating at Wendy’s again.

I cannot find the leak source for sure but the gap between the door flange and the weatherstripping seems to be greater at the top of both doors than on the sides.

Could someone with a similar model see if they have the same gap difference on the top versus the sides on the door? The caulk around the window on the door is cracked but I don’t see that as a major leak source. Any other thoughts would be appreciated.

So far, we have lost a stabilizer leg to a highly crowned road in New Mexico, lost the caulk seal around the fan in a hail storm in Mississippi and had to replace the converter. This may seem extreme but that is life on the road. We love our TAG but am beginning to wonder if it can really take what the Wendy’s of the world can dish out.
