Roof Leaks Fixed

There were bunches of "Lawrence Welk quality" bubbles coming out from under the seams after the coach was pressurized and soaped down.

I'm not real sure how BB attached the roof plates. If I'm not mistaken, John Boy told me the plates were bolted (or welded) on the sides, curved over the roof and glued using a "super sealer" of some sort. I seem to remember him saying those plates that are covered with the cat-walk components are more secure because of the screws holding the walkways down.

I may be all wrong, so perhaps someone more technically astute than I am will "educate" us (me). He also stated that its very rare for the seam to develop a leak.

BB's construction of the roof does not really mean much to me - for a techno-challenged person, I am so glad (ecstatic, really) that the source of couple of really difficult leaks have been located and eliminated.
